"Refurbished" can have a special meaning for Cisco. It means equipment that
Cisco makes available for sale through Resellers who in turn buy it from
Distribution houses such as Tech Data. It has a warranty and can be placed
on a SmartNet service contract. If this is what you need then do a search on
CCO for local resellers. Prices are less but not a great bargain.
If you are looking for "used" equipment, there are many companies that deal
in used gear. eBay is a good starting point. Look on completed auctions for
pricing guidelines. Others may comment on SmartNet for this gear.
If you can find a company that is going out of business, sometimes there are
some real deals.
Side story. I recently attended an auction. A friend asked me to bid on some
3Com routers. In size they looked like a 7507. Dual power supplies, modular
cards. Interfaces were comparable to a 4500 - Ethernet, Serial, HSSI. Bought
two at $35 each.
