    I have a bunch of networking gear to sell, it’s semi recent stuff, all Cisco. How would I go about selling it? Are those websites that buy old network gear in bulk any good?

      I don’t often (or ever) sell equipment. So unfortunately I may not be very helpful here.

      I would suspect that the bulk gear shops are just going to individually list the items on eBay or something similar; if you want top dollar, you’ll need to sell them yourself on eBay. If you don’t care all that much, then hand them over to a highly rated bulk shop and let them do it for you.

      If you have a list, I’m looking for a few pieces, and there’s others that I’d be interested in if I got them at a good price. We could work something out.

      I’m also sure that there’s buy/sell communities and subreddits that you could try as well.

      A short list of things I’m usually interested in is:

      Catalyst switches, usually 3750 series, specifically anything PoE, but there’s other 3k/4k switches I’d like to get my hands on.

      Aironet wireless, not the meraki stuff, that’s usually trash unless you have a contact and I don’t roll like that.

      ISR G2 routers, usually the 19xx and 29xx series.

      Anything newer than the ISR G2, like the Cisco 43xx routers and such.

      I usually stay away from anything chassis based, it simply takes too much room and power compared to what I need and I get the same functionality in terms of commands and learning from smaller units, though they’re not as capable, they still function well enough for a lab/home use.

      There’s other stuff I’d like to pick up, but that’s what I’m usually looking at… At least off the top of my head.

        Hey thanks for the big writeup! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

        It’s a bummer that Meraki stuff is less desirable, I just pulled it all out of the closet and it looks like that’s most of what I’ve got.

        I’ve got two of the MR84, three of the MR36, a MS225-24P, some antennas for them, and three of some kind of IP phone CP-8841.

        Is the Meraki stuff contract only? My buddies boss gave him this stuff from the closet at work. Says he didn’t want or need it. Then he gave it to me 🤷‍♂️ I know my buddy didn’t steal it, but I’m hoping it’s not considered stolen or something? Because you have to have a contract? Idk maybe I’m overthinking it.
