Is this a decent deal?

I won the following on an ebay auction:

1 - 2950 48 port switch
1 - 3548 48 port switch
1 - 2610 router
1 - 2611 router

I got caught up in the bidding in the final two minutes (I hate losing) and it ended at $185 shipped. Is this a decent deal? There are no faceplates on the routers if that makes any difference.

You'd have to tell us the memory and any included interfaces for the routers before we could tell you for sure.... but while you probably could have done better, we probably won't make fun of you for paying that price.

It turns out you got a good price on the NM-HSSI -- and everything else was free

Check out the prices for a WIC-2T on eBay -- that should make you feel even better.

You'll want to upgrade the flash on the 2610 -- and max out the DRAM -- but you've still come out ahead.

The WIC-1AM is an analog modem.... it might be fun to play with (if you still have an old dial-up internet account or access to one as backup for a DSL connection), but it's not really needed anymore for certification purposes.
