1 Cisco 2521 Router
1 Cisco 2900 24 port switch
1 Cisco 1601 Router
1 Cisco 1602 Router
1 Cisco 1720 Router

What would you suggest is a fare price?

Hmm I was going to buy them for the CCNA, but if they are very old maybe not then. I will just see if I can get by with my emulator or get newer gear. I would like them to have some life left in them for the CCNP.. haha

    I wouldn't pay a lot for any of these devices. They are all very old and will only be useful for CCENT\CCNA.

    Off the top of my head I'm not sure.. free would be nice lol. I might be interested in one of the routers and switch. I need to setup my own lab to help study for ccna.
    Life is not a gift for man, man is himself life, his wants and needs serve the singular purpose of existence, any man who loses sight of this and does not cherish life itself is in the hardest of ways.

    Depends on the version of the IOS. If you learn the round-about ways, then it's going to trip you up... you'll be used to doing it X and not Y.

    I'd look at the Certification Kits, go by what they have theirs listed as - if you can match it up. Look on Ebay, etc.
    In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

    If you already have an emulator--a lab full of devices running the latest IOS that can be re-connected to form any topology in minutes and is good enough for the CCIE--do cosider what you're gaining by picking up a limited number of end-of-sale routers with obsolete versions of IOS. ;)

    To know if a price is fair? Check CertificationKits or eBay.

    be very nice but sincere, and tell them a nominal fee for cleaning up the mess; and you will remove the rest of the cables and wic cards free.
    reality you would not use any of this stuff longer than it took you to find out that you could not flash it with a newer IOS.

    I agree with the rest of the guys. This stuff is pretty old =(

    i remember 2900 switches don't support all the features and commands, and that's why everyone uses 2950's

    for CCNP CCIE you'd need 3550 and 3560 switches. so.... unless you can get these for free, i wouldn't spend much on any of them.
