I have a 5 port Linksys network switch that I no longer need. It works fine, I just got a new router with 8 wired ports, so I don't need the switch anymore. Just send me a one good cigar for it, and its yours. Send me a PM is interested.

DOF...

No offense but it's not even worth that. I'd suggest just donating it to Goodwill. I've got a 5-port Workgroup Switch, Broadband Firewall Router with 4-port Swtch/VPN Endpoint, a 4-port Wireless N Router, and numerous other hardware components including hard-drives, optical-drives and disks, and RAM that have been collecting dust for months. Anyone need 5 high-end 19" flat-screen Hitachi (CM772) monitors?

Good luck.

See you at Goodwill.

You could try Free Cycle:

It's a good way to keep useful electronics out of a landfill and give them a new home.

A PM would do.

Just thought I'd could pass it on to someone here who might have need.

Cacman, enjoy the spotlight in the technology aisle at Goodwill.

Just tried to give you some practical advice regarding used computer electronics. If you thinks it's insulting over a simple consumer Network Switch, try understanding how it feels to throw thousands of dollars of working computer components away. Not enjoying it one bit.

Those consumer Linsys switches are widely available, and after approx 12-months or so will burn-out. Sorry you didn't like the advice. Take it with a grain of salt. That switch is about as valuable as a used ZIP drive. Used computer electronics no matter how new they may be or how well they still work, aren't worth anywhere near what you think they may be. It's a hard fact of life. Just like a new car, that new electronic you bought today isn't going to be worth 1/3 what you spent in 2-3 months.

Donate it to Goodwill or your child's school and take the tax deduction. If you do it before April 15th you can still claim it for 2010. Your welcome.

Cacman, hey, no malice towards you intended by my comments. I've been in IT for over 20 years, so I know where you're coming from. However, know that not everyone here is like you and most don't have access to used (free) computer components. I'm just trying to pass this along (I know its not worth much), but I figured someone out there might have a need.

Since this is the trades board ... perhaps a trade is in order here (and no, not used computer crap). Shoot me a PM if you're game.

csiegels... never took your comments to be "malice" in nature bud. Just understanding about the frustration with used computer stuff. Maybe my frustration spills out as am sitting on a ton of that stuff myself to give away. Stuff is so cheap nowadays and technologies changing by the minute... have trouble just giving it away.

Sure I'm up for a trade... but no computer stuff. Don't know if you would be interested in anything I have. But you are the vet so drop me a PM with an addy and "like" list and I'll send what I can in a 5-1/4" floppy disk case. 🙂
