So I was given a Dell PowerConnect 5548 managed 48-port GbE switch. It’s brand spankin’ new, never been unpacked or used, and still in the box from Dell (it still had the freakin’ packing slip and all!). I peeped the service tag on Dell’s website and it’s under warranty until April 2041. Wikipedia says the guts of it are Marvell tech.
I really don’t have a need for it. I mean, I could come up with a reason to use it, just to play around with more than anything, though. Honestly, I’d rather get some cash out of it – and give someone that actually needs it a decent deal (and get myself a fancy new video card).
Problem is, I can’t gauge what they go for, money wise. Prices on eBay vary wildly from $700 (used) to $2k (new). Amazon third-party sellers aren’t any better. Apparently, Dell has moved on to newer and shinier things, I sure as shit can’t find a listing for it on their Business shop site.
Does anybody have an idea of what range these things go for?
TIA
