As any of my colleagues will tell you, I suffer from what is almost an addiction to buying tech related items.
To name a few of my Ebay Cisco bargains, I picked up an ACS 1113 appliance for £129 and sold it for £1200, bought a Cat 500 24 port switch for £35 and an AP1242 for £70.

Its at this point that I am going to point you towards our ebay Feed, which will bring up any Cisco related Auction Items that are in their last 4 hours. This way you will never miss another bargain!
