Best source for used Cisco?

[smax]

Apart from the obvious, eBay, does anyone know of a broker of off-lease Cisco equipment that has reasonable prices?

I've been in contact with nearly a dozen "used cisco" dealers and they all want to charge significantly more than can had on the open market.

Any suggestions?

there are some people in fs/ft who have cisco equipment.

this belongs in the ~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~ thread.. You should probably also check out **** Hot Deals Forum Rules - Please read before posting **** .

There's a mailing list called network-resell that has pretty good deals. See this recent post by Alkemyst.

Look in the dumpster behind any fast food restaurant--lots of used Crisco. Dunno why you'd want that though.

so i'm not the only one that read this as "best source for used Crisco?

eBay's probably your best bet. the FS/FT forum here has mostly dried up for Cisco. I see maybe one post every 2 months for low end cisco hardware (2924s, 3600s, 4000s). I've seen one post for a 7200 and one other post for a GSR 12012, both of which were last year. I would save your energy for eBay :| You might also want to try the isp-colo list.

Best source is FS/FT or IWANNA. 😛

Try FS/FT, no one reads IWANNA.
