Hi
im in the process of building a lab - to start with for the ccna - then to go down the voice route
Does anyone have a "average" ebay type list for fair prices - i was going to compile one so i can keep a eye out
roughtly what is a fair price for needed equipment such as the 2950 or the 2610xm etc
(feel free to add other routers or switches which help with certification)
thanks

Optionsknewbold Member Posts: 42 ■■□□□□□□□□the thing is there prices vary hugely
take the 2610xm for example - they can be got for around £40 - but going up to 150ish buy it now
it seems to depend on memory - but since i dont know too much hardware-wise reguarding these - im not sure what is suitable and what isnt
some have 12.2 some 12.4 etc - it seems like 12.4 is used for voice - but they tend to be the more expensive end of the market - which is why i ask for a bit of help -

I have got a 2600XM for sale, I'm just about to put it on ebay but if you want we could avoid that. I'll check out the spec in a bit and post it up. I'm looking for about £35 for it plus postage and packing which comes to about £12 from memory.
I can add a WIC-1T and WIC-1ADSL for £15 quid each as well if you wantBlog : http://www.caerffili.co.uk/

OptionsStotic Member Posts: 248To accurately gauge the price of equipment on Ebay, sort by ending soonest because the prices of routers/switches usually jump alot in the final day of bidding.

OptionsKaminsky Member Posts: 1,235I missed out today on a 1721 router with wic-1t due to network lag at work. Put bid in for £20, lagg kicked in and by the time it come back, auction had ended and someone got it for £1.30 ..... about $0.85c .... GAH !
In the UK, typically 1721's go for about £30 ~$20. 26XMs from £40-£80. Not sure on switches as I haven't been looking lately. As knewbold says, memory is a factor so it can run 12.3 - 12.4 IOS... Tyically, these need to be maxed for the device.
Be carefull of Buy It Now prices... Some of them are completely rediculous.Kam. -

I would say it is the 2910xm's are around $95 a piece the last time I checked -> 95 X 2 = $190. 2950G is probably at least 100 - 150. $290 - 340. Plus you add the cables and the book, your right about there. I'm not sure about the 3640. I would say it is worth that price. If you want to verify check on ebay for each individual piece and add it up and see if you can find a better value buying individually.
