How Do You Buy Used Networking Equipment?
• Do your homework on which hardware is available on the market. Look at what products are out now: Amazon.com and Newegg.com have great selections and user reviews on quality and usefulness. Usually, most anything can be found, but if you are looking to replace a fried older device, it might be very rare and may require a lengthy search. • Choose which product manufacturer includes the best features that you are interested in, such as the types of Wi-fi protocols supported, number of ports on a switch, and security features. You can locate used or refurbished hardware at prices up to 90% less than the current market value. Check places like Craigslist, Half.com, and Ebay. Amazon.com sometimes sells used items on the same product page as the new, so be sure to keep an eye open for that.
