reselling old hardware

[teekow]

I have been asked by customers in the past for options available to them to sell old hardware that has been replaced and never can come up with anything except EBAY. Does anyone have a recommendation for reputable companies that buy old legacy hardware from sites that have been upgraded? In this particular case, my customer has several 9150 units that were replaced with IP phones, but it could just as easily be old 2616 sets, SSC cards, etc.

Any ideas would be helpful

Thanks
Rob

I think he was looking for more of recommendations . . . . I usually just hit ebay too but would like if anyone has any recommendations.

I am slightly opposed to having resellers reccomended here, since it is somewhat on the edge of advertising.

This site has been one of my stops when searching:

http://www.telecomreseller.com/

or

http://www.telecomreseller.com/nortel-sources/

If there were only a handful of junk dealers, it would be one thing, but there are well over 10,000 people trying to make money buying and selling used equipment. Our asking "Who's good" legitimately draws them into this forum, only to have them banished soon after.

It is a touchy topic. When someone get a good or bad rap here, it can mean a lot, and it's often not warranted.

I have sold stuff to them in the past - depending on what you're selling, the offer is more than fair at times.
