Stretching Your Upgrade Dollar
Upgrading network hardware is one of those annoying expenses that every business has to undertake. But just because a company needs to buy new routers and switches on a regular basis does not mean that they have to pay an arm and a leg for them. Companies who are willing to buy used Cisco equipment like routers and switches can save up to ninety percent off the original retail price.
Many companies are, understandably, a little reluctant when it comes to purchasing used network hardware. Some of them have been burned in the past by less than reputable used and refurbished vendors whose products dont pass muster.
But that doesnt mean that they are all that way. With a little research, and some recommendations from trusted partners, its possible to find reliable resellers of used Cisco routers and switches.
The key is finding a seller who specializes in network hardware. Many of the companies selling this gear on the Internet are actually office liquidators who nothing about routers, switches or anything but dollars and sense.
Face it, theres only so much money for upgrades in any companys budget. The further that dollar is stretched, the better off everyone will be.
