They are $120k each USD list price in North America… yeah, that’s a really good deal you got at $12k each for sure ..

Even finding these took weeks. 60Gbps throughput per card, 1 Trio, 128 Gbps of ram. Will be using them for redundant cgnat, firewall, jflow.

Most of the refurb sellers on eBay buy low and resell high. If you buy from eBay you get hosed, if you buy from the resellers... Well, I just paid $24k for $160k worth of brand new MS-MPC-128's, I have hot and cold spares for everything, and 720Gbps of non-oversub'd throughput - paid pennies on the dollar.

I'm looking at primarily switching, though something that does VPLS, CE or similar features would be nice. Something with TRILL or a TRILL derivative would be nice too. I'm not talking Juniper MX scale. Light on power is one of the biggest priorities. It doesn't need to have a million ports, either. I do like the Nexus 9k that we've got, but in some areas, something with more functionality would be nice.
