Frequently Asked Questions
What can you do with old network switches?

If you have used network switches you no longer need, you have three main options:

  1. Dispose or Recycle: If the switches are no longer functional, recycling or proper disposal is the best choice.
  2. Repurpose: You can reuse the switches within another system or network if they’re still operational, extending their utility.
  3. Sell for Extra Cash: Selling your old switches can help finance upgrades to newer equipment.

Which Option is Best?

Your decision depends on several key factors:

  • Condition: If the switches don’t work, recycling is likely the only option. However, if they’re in decent shape, you may still be able to repurpose or sell them.
  • Resale Value: If the switches have a high resale value, selling them is ideal. For switches with a low resale value but good functionality, repurposing might make more sense.
  • Replacement Cost: If you’re planning to upgrade, consider waiting until new equipment prices decrease before selling your old switches. This can help balance the cost of replacement.

 

How can I sell my network switches?

Selling used networking equipment, like network switches and routers, can be a great way to recover some value. Here are three main options for selling your switches:

  1. Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces (e.g., eBay):
    Selling on peer-to-peer sites allows you to set your own prices and control the listing details. However, finding the right buyer, especially for enterprise-grade switches, can be time-consuming, and negotiating terms may be challenging.
  2. Classified Sites (e.g., Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Amazon):
    These platforms can make it easier to find buyers compared to peer-to-peer sites, but you’ll have less flexibility in setting terms and prices. Still, they offer good exposure for finding local buyers.
  3. IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) Companies:
    Selling to an ITAD company that specializes in used IT assets is often the fastest and simplest route. These companies offer fair market prices and handle all data security requirements, including secure data erasure, which is especially useful for switches that may contain sensitive or regulated data.

Each option offers different levels of convenience, control, and speed, allowing you to choose the best fit based on your equipment and goals.

 

How to sell a network switch?

Whether selling a network switch, gateway, hub, router, or other networking equipment, you can follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Evaluate the Condition

Inspect the network switch's physical and functional condition. Check for any cosmetic defects or performance issues. Be thorough and honest about any imperfections when listing it for sale.

Step 2: Identify the Equipment

Once you’ve confirmed that the switch works properly, identify its exact model to determine resale value. Look for brand names, model numbers, or serial numbers to simplify this step.

Step 3: Take Photos

Capture clear photos of the switch, ensuring the serial number and model name (if visible) are included. Be transparent about any visible defects by including them in the photos, which builds trust with prospective buyers.

Step 4: Find Buyers

List your switch on classified sites, peer-to-peer marketplaces, or reach out to an IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) company like Big Data Supply Inc., which specializes in purchasing used network equipment.

Step 5: Package and Ship

Once you secure a buyer, package the switch securely for shipping. If selling in bulk, some ITAD companies may offer pickup services.

How to Determine the Value of Old Switches

Several factors impact the resale value of network switches:

  • Age: Older switches tend to have lower market value.
  • Condition: Switches in good working order and without physical defects command higher prices.
  • Newer Models: If a newer model is available, resale prices for older models typically drop.
  • Rarity: Older or discontinued models may increase in value if they’re hard to find or serve niche purposes.

To estimate value, check online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay to see similar models and their prices.
