[7:73788] Interesting article about buying used network equipment (I buy all my lab stuff of ebay or other vendors) http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/08/08/31FEfair_1.html "I made the mistake of showing a visiting Cisco rep the 2611 router I'd purchased on eBay for $1,200," says Mark Payton, director of IT at the Vermont Academy, a school in Saxtons River, Vt. "Not only are they asking me to pay to relicense the software, but they are expecting me to get a one-year SmartNet maintenance agreement and to pay an inspection fee."
