So a couple of months ago I got two Netgear M7300-24XF/XSM7224S switches.
Those are older (2013) datacenter switches with 24 SFP+ ports and (shared) 4x10GBe but still are available today since Netgear has not updated them yet.

Current price new is 6k€, on top these switches have the L3 license which clicks in another 1K€'s.

Unfortunately them being Netgear o/c the Lifetime pro hardware and software support is not transferable which is ... not nice.

Since those are total overkill for me and are quite power hungry (90w idle) I decided to sell them on ebay since I know network stuff is not going so well here. Started at 1300 which is high but thought, why not.
Sale is not going so well so I am down to 850, still little interest ;)

So I thought I'd check with someone else whether my pricing expectation is too high or them being just not interesting to the majority of ppl...
I assume there is a bunch of cheaper/better alternatives like the LB4M/6M at lower prices and same power level which would drive prices down - so what is a fair price in your opinion?
Thanks
