[H/W] Selling old gear

Click for full size
Click for full size
Ok so I'm going to finally sell my old cisco gear

3745 w/ all 4 power supplies (2x main and 2x inline (IE they enable POE if you have a POE etherswitch in it)) 2x VPN-AIM, max ram, max flash (both CF cards), NM-1GE, copper GBIC

also a spare 3745 Chassis w/ 2x VPN-AIM, no Power supplies, internal flash only

(with these two you could make 2 usable 3745's)

a 2651 (max ram and max flash)

and 2x 2924M-XL

Back when I bought my 3845 I had hoped to maybe get $800 for the old stuff but I guess the value has dropped a bit, so any estimate on what I can sell the old gear for?

last I checked it all works (but its been along time since the 2924M-XL's have had power)

2920, really? Donate them to a local museum. They aren't worth their scrap metal.

3745, maybe $100 if you put a PS in it. The one with the inline power would be worth something if the ESW was in it. Pull those PSes and sell them individually. (The memory and flash they use are dirt these days. My was populated from my trash heap.)

Well with the power supplies someone could make 2 working 3745's out of them

ya know what, do you think the KVM pictured here
»Home network updated

would be worth selling?
just thinking ATM I only have 2 servers so a 16 port KVM is a bit wasted and doesn't give me anything interesting for it.

Sniff around ebay for recently sold items. A WIC-DSU-T1 (v1?) is worth less than USPS shipping. (a v2 is about 25$) The 2924's are just junk, esp. when 3550's run less than $50. (I got one for free in a stack of fibre switches.)

The real elephant in the room is shipping. Those things are massive.

Can you donate them to local CCNA students or any local donation center?

I could but I want money.

I had been hoping to get a DL580G5 off ebay for $189+shipping but the listing ended and he's not relisting (would have been more than double the CPU power for the home ESXi)

I'm thinking now maybe 400-600 for the whole lot (ya the 2924's are junk but could be handy for someone to make a little ccna lab and with all the parts they'd have 2 switches and 3 routers, sounds like a nice lab IMO)

Maybe you can then sell to local people or to those who are willing to do local pickup to avoid high shipping cost

I looked and don't see a V1 or V2 on it
it does have a loopback button on it
but I was thinking just pop it in one of the 3745's so it'd just hitch a ride with the rest.

any idea on the weight of the bundle of stuff to figure shipping?
I did e-mail a local community college that has a cisco program to see if they might buy it all from me.

Ya I'm thinking I'll try that before e-bay.

No "V?" would be a V1. I think a 3700 will drive it.

well I'm not going to sell my NME-16ES-1G-P's but just wondering might I get more if I buy a ES or ESW and put it with it?

Maybe, but sometimes the cards go for more than the routers.

Well that one doesn't list specs at all it could have the 48v DC power supply making it unusable for most.

what I'm looking to sell is maxed out

I mean look at that listing, not "sh ver", no amount of ram, no IOS ver, no flash amount (might not even have the MB)

and mine is loaded with c3745-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin (which I checked and its the latest IOS for the 3745) and the latest Rommon

You assume that someone buying the router even wants any modules at all, let alone the ones you think you should put in it. As sk1939 said, modules sometimes go for more than the routers themselves, so likely all you'd end up doing would be price yourself out of a sale from anyone who just wants a bare bones box. If youre going to sell any modules that have any value, sell them separately.

Software is also somewhat irrelevant. Corporate and telco buyers likely have qualified software versions that they must use based on their own internal testing. You could sell it with the latest bleeding edge IOS, but they might delete it anyway and downgrade to their own image.

My employer uses images that are several releases behind the latest version, simply because bleeding edge is not always the best place to be.

Anyone can find an illegitimate place to download the latest IOS/ROMMON versions, so its not a selling point. Put the routers up selling them based on their hardware config. Price them middle ground compared to other pricing you can find and see what happens. No one can guarantee you'll sell it.

The kind of gears OP is selling most likely will not attract businesses, corporations, and CCNA candidates. Instead the gears may attract CCNP candidates, hobbyists, self-employed consultants, or CCNA training camp administrators that feel adventurous in testing various modules and connectivity. These adventurous people may or may not like modules; so it will be hit or miss.

Sell all of them including the most and least expensive gears and modules may attract more buyers. Sell them separately may cause the least wanted gears (the 2x 2924M-XL) not to be sold at all.

Those adventurous people might love to get rich-featured IOS images. Even if the people did not need such images, selling gears with attractive IOS image version will not hurt.

I have always been a good boy (and kind of old school) not even try to look for illegitimate source of IOS/ROMMON image. God knows the condition of those images; they may contain malware

I would think most of them would be buying new or atleast not 3 gen old gear (IE current is the 3900e, then the 3900, then the 3800)

BTW the images on this are all from cisco, and not illegitimate.

I would not even waste my time trying to sell a 2900XL these days. I wouldnt even accept one if someone offered to pay me to take it from them. Rip the circuit board out, bin it, and take the sheet metal to a scrap yard or use it around the hosue somewhere. The power supply is probably useful for an electronics lab or something.

Its not difficult to verify that the image has not been tampered with. Use the feature navigator to find the image you have or want to download, grab the MD5 checksum, compare. Its not rocket science.

There are small businesses that buy used network gears for their production network due to attractive price. These used network gears most likely will not be eligible for Smartnet contract however. So when things go wrong, these businesses either go to local Cisco shops for support, simply buy replacements (similar used gears), or call up Cisco TAC support using identical gears with different serial numbers

For someone looking to learn it'd be fine, it could work just fine for a lab, but sure its likely running IOS 11 and thus the syntax is a bit different.

Go to ebay and search for 2924M and see what kind of prices these things go for.

I can see some for sale for as little as £8 a pop and they dont have a single bid on them. Thats probably about the cost of two coffees - but I dont drink coffee so I dont know how much a cup of that stuff is.

By the time you sell it and someone like ebay takes their cut(s) (depending on how many times you have to list it before it sells), package it, and ship it (and at that price shipping will be more expensive) youve already wasted more than £8 of your time and other resources. You would litterally be better off giving it away.

If that doesnt demonstrate how practically worthless these things are, then I dont know what will. By all means give it away to someone who wants it for a lab, but IMO trying to sell it is above all else a waste of time.

That's why toss it in with the other stuff, ya no one LOOKS for a 2924M-XL any more but it would sweeten the auction of the 3745
