    Cisco 4148 switches

    I received a call from a potential client looking to get rid of 118 cisco routers, most were wsx4148 models. All weigh 4.8lbs each as per a used equipment supplier on the web, which comes to 566.4 lbs. He's looking for a price and I am unsure what would be a fair offer. Not sure if they are good or anything but scrap. Even at a buck a pound that's a lot to lay out up front, Any help would be appreciated.

    One to two bucks a piece if you are scrapping them.

    I just finished 50 of these and sent them to a buyer on the forum. Maybe you'll get a better price, but I got 4.35 about 2 weeks ago.

    118 x 2.5 pounds per board = 295 lbs

    295 lbs x 4.35 = $1283.00

    Takes money to make money.

    I have 13 pallets of those to pick up in the basement of a warehouse and ,they have to be hand carried. I have done some of them. the above figures are pretty accurate. they only have a board a small power supply and a turbo fan. they do sell on ebay. whole or in parts for a few bucks.

    I wish I had that kind of problem. I'd love 13 pallets of anything.
