An interesting article just came out about buying used network gear. A study cited in the article claims that nearly 10% of such gear is a counterfeit.
I am not trying to discourage a free marketplace, just advising people to be careful and consider buying from a reputable dealer / VAR. This is what I recommend to all of my clients.
Note: I do not buy or sell used network gear so do not have a financial interest either way.
