I attended a swap meet last year and bought ten used cisco routers. I was not sure if any of them worked, but I took them to the local cisco repair shop to have them tested. The man at the counter asked me how much I had paid for all the used cisco routers and I told him eight hundred dollars. He let me know that I had gotten a very good deal. He said that if they did not work, the parts alone would be worth thousands. This is what I was thinking when I got them, but I was not sure.

Two weeks went by and the gentleman from the cisco repair shop called me back to let me know that all but two of the used cisco routers worked and that he was willing to make a deal with me to purchase all of them. When he offered me eight thousand dollars for all ten of them, I took the deal. This way I would not have to try and find any buyers for them and I will have made seventy two hundred dollars very easily. I know what I will be looking for at the swap meets from now on.
