Finding a Reliable Used Hardware Dealer
Businesses that sell refurbished Cisco routers and switches are a lot like used car dealers. There are a large number of them who sell quality products, and stand by them with a rock solid guarantee. But, unfortunately, theres also a small subset of them who sell whatever they can grab on to and flee into the night.
So how can a business thats looking to purchase refurbished Cisco switches know when theyre working with a legitimate reseller?
One of the easiest ways of determining a businesses legitimacy is by finding out how long theyve been in business. Theres no reason to blackball a vendor simply based on this number alone, but it can be a bit telling. But anyone who can say that theyve been selling these products a number years, and can provide references, is likely a legitimate player. Also pay attention to how hard they sell the maintenance contract versus the how much they talk about the all inclusive warranty.
Also pay attention not just to what theyre selling you, find out what else they sell. If they http://www.networkequipmentdealers.com/”>sell Cisco products exclusively, chances are theyre going to be better equipped to keep your hardware running than some company that sells a number of different product lines.
Theres deals to be had out there, but its always buyer beware.
