Hi all. Great content and lots of learning by reading through these thread. Special thanks to Fohdeesha for starting it!
What would be considered a reasonable price for the 6450-24p/7150-24p/7250-24p switches in 2023? The prices seem to be all over the place on eBay.
I am in the market for an ICX7150-24P. However, listing price for those seems to be between $500-$1200. I have been keeping an eye using the "Sold" prices as reference but I am not finding anything close to that range (200-400). One seller on eBay would not budge on less than $600 before shipping. What are people paying nowadays? What would you consider a deal?
I currently have 2 ICX7150-C12Ps that I've been running for a couple years and looking to consolidate into a single, ideally fanless (or as quiet as possible) low power switch.
Questions I have for all of you experts. I have not seen any recent answers to these and my searching didn't yield any recent results so thought I'd ask to gauge the situation at this point in time, especially with the current inflation.
1. Are the 6450s worth buying in 2023? Would $150-200 be a good deal for one?
2. I have been able to find a 7250-24p for almost same price as a 7150-24p. However, the noise (~42-44 dB with the stock fans) and power consumption (~50w) idle make me hesitate. How loud are they? Is it worth paying 4x for a 7250-24p (EOLd now) compared to a 6450-24p which has been EOLd for quite sometime but at least offers some savings upfront?
3. Is there a difference between the Brocade branded 7250 and the Ruckus branded ones?
4. If anybody has a 7150-24p that they are willing to part with for a reasonable price, I would be interested. I may be open to also partial trades.
I only have about 4 PoE devices at this point in time and not heavily invested in the 10GB ecosystem but would like to prep and expand for future needs.
Thank you in advance.
