Thought id post on here before ebay...

9 Nortel Networks Baystack 24port switches
Cascade cables
power cables

8 can be connected via the cascade cables to form a super switch, totaling 192 ports for networking computers. The 9th is a spare. Software can be fully customised via a rs232 cable/port or something.

All were working last i checked. About 2 years ago if bought new was worth $32000-$36000 from cisco, but these were government seconds at the time.

They light up like a xmas tree when run in unison and the fans sound pretty sweet.

Bought to start a regular LAN PARTY back in the day but had other commitments.

So yer... Of any interest to anyone?

So what are you splitting them up? How much are you asking for them?

selling all together
whats your offer

just give a price you tool, this isn't ebay

5 dorrah

Unless these are 10/100/1000, the going price for these secondhand is generally around $100 - we have three at work and two here at home. That you paid $36k for 9 of them speaks either bulls***, or that you got ripped bigtime.

Why would Cisco sell you Nortel gear

Thats nice dear, have you see how fast computer hardware depreciates?

6 dorrah 25 sents!

7 dollarz!

I can see everyone else is making silly bids so let me be the first to make a serious one.

$10.

take them to ebay, everyone here knows the price of hardware ;)

$11 My final offer.

I'd offer you $50 for the lot.

$100 for the lot.. (got no idea how much these things are worth now)

101

Id be keen for 1, 192 ports is erm a little excessive.

If you got 9 people willing to buy 1 each so they all got sold would you split it up then? Thats the way you'll stand to make the most money anyway.

Why would Cisco sell you Nortel gear

Cisco buyout existing gear to sweeten a new cisco only fit out of a company.

They then hock it off to nubs or trash it.

yeah, yeah couldnt be f***ed pack an post each individually...

Teq that a legit offer?

Well seeing most people on this forum come from the Brisbane area its highly likely they'd come to you...

since you can only network 8 of them, i'll buy the 9th one off you seeing as it's virtually useless

i must say the ninth has a few bent pins in the cascade slot but if you only want one then you probably wouldn't care

let me get this straight, u bought them two years ago for $32k to start a fkn lan party??

u got 191 friends?

no, more like his work has upgraded, he is in charge of disposal of the assets and his disposal method is qgl.

Well if you do decide to split them if there is enough interest im in for 1 or 2 depending on the price.

1 would like one. how much?

I would be interested in one or 2 if you're willing to split them up

Also possibly interested in one.

and yes I will come to you so you have to basically do nothing :)

Zylox, how much you want for them?? what do you think is a fair price?? give us something to work with m8.

let me get this straight, u bought them two years ago for $32k to start a fkn lan party??

lol... take another read

want $500 but will consider nearest offer

500/9 ~ $56

I'd be quite happy to give you $56 for one of em.

If you do split put me down for 1.

if i can get 5 ppl at 56 dorrah i'll do a split

Any other takers?

For those who wanted one... they're on ebay
