HP ProCurve Switch 4208vl

[masteryoda34]

I recently acquired a used HP ProCurve Switch 4208vl with four 16port gigabit modules in it. (48 gigabit ports total) From what I understand, this switch is quite expensive. Also, it is really overkill for any applications that I have. Does anyone know of any good place to sell something like this? (It is used but in good condition.) I've looked on eBay and didn't see much that was similar to this.

There are several of them on eBay right now. Assuming it's sellable at all, eBay will likely give you the most profit. But I'm sure there are specialty places that will buy such stuff too.

If you have a low-demand product, you'll need to run a longer-term auction on eBay. Set a healthy "Buy-it-Now" price, since most people buying one won't want to wait for the auction to end and won't want to take a chance on missing out on the item at the last minute.

If you set a "Buy-it-Now" price, also be sure to have a "high" starting bid (something in the ball park of what the item is actually worth). You don't want somebody bidding $0.01 and shutting down the Buy-It-Now alternative.

Thanks for the tips.
