Welcome to Buying Used Cisco,

There are so many opportunities coming out of the end of the web boom, and one of them is buying Cisco network equipment from second hand dealers.  Below are my top 3 recommendations to buy used Cisco online and through vendors -

1) Understand the hardware before you start. - how well do you know your product. Check out the NetworkWorld Couterfeit Cisco guide.

2) Even when buying second had, use a trusted seller.

Many people have been ripped off by buying off vendors from eBay who they lost contact with after the sale. Buy from a trusted seller who are licensed as a business in your country and have a business address and phone number.

3) Call the vendor to check that your product is available, and while you're at it check out the credentials of the company, delivery and warranty policies and customer support.

 This post is bought to you by Network Brokers, who sell and buy used Cisco, and is a guide for finding legitimate Cisco equipment at a reasonable price.
