    Wireless Antenna's

    Hey guys!



    I don't know if any of you run across these or not (they're pretty rare in my pickups), but they're going for about $7-$8 each and I just came across a lot of sixty of them.

    They're from D-Link DAP-2553 routers.

    Are you reselling those? I do come across them quite a bit on wireless cards, an modem/routers.

    Thanks for the tip EMeek! Glad I just save'm an toss'm in their own bucket, some day I'll find someone to shop them around for me.

    Yes, we resell them. They sell very well. I usually sell them in lots of 4.

    If they're attached to a card they will probably sell for more.

    Usually don't test what I get in, hence me just saving the antennas. Figured it was silly of me to toss them in to the shred pile, without finding out about them, but never got around to the finding out part, so therefore they all sit in a bucket of their own.

    Who else has an antenna bucket? haha!

    Thanks buddy.

    If they work I'll buy them. They're pretty easy to test.

    How many do you have?

    I'm also willing to list/sell them for you and we can split the $$

    I imagine you'd get a lot more value than just scrapping them out.

    I'll save them for you if you can make it worth the shipping. Send a pm with prices and shipping address. I get them all the time from the thrift store that I pick up from.

    Depends on the card/antenna.

    Usually what I do is, have a cheap Dell Optiplex laying around I use to test my RAM / PCI / Graphics cards.

    Pop in the new card, fire it up, install driver, sell for $30. I usually test them in lots, to save myself some time. After you get the process down it's pretty easy money.
