Thread: Value of some 7200 Series routers

I've currently got three 7206 routers. All have NPE-150's and C7200-IO-FE-MII's, and I have a collection of cards:
Fast Serial Enhanced (4) x1
Token Ring x2
BRI S/T (8) x 3
Ethernet 10BT (4) x 2
Ethernet 10BT (8) x 1
Fast Ethernet (1) x 3
Fast Serial (4) x 2
FDDI-MM (2) x 2

Does anyone have an idea of what these are worth? Obviously they aren't the VXR versions, and seem to have fairly limited memory installed (26/32mb from what I can work out). All have twin PSU's though.

Donate to British Computing Museum or else weigh them in...

Yup, scrap value is all you're likely to get for that.

Maybe if you're lucky you could find someone wanting one to mess with for a home CCNA lab..

Lol, surely they're not that bad!

Only VXR and NPE400 and above has any worth.

About 50p and a bag of crisps I'm afraid, you might find someone on eBay wanting them for a lab, but that's about your lot.

Hrm, well to be fair I had expected them to be fairly worthless, but still worth more than the 2600 series bits of kit

Use the lovely fans in them to create a mini wind tunnel to test airflow of things?

If you need someone to get rid of them, I always find uses for this sort of kit... whether that be to hold a door open, or maybe extreme jenga

Do you play it so that you have to take the line cards out before you can take the chassis out the tower?

Ooo.. I had never throught of that variation Karl, that seems to make it too easy though!

Make sure the PSU's are in; that way you get maximum weight and workout ratio

Line cards can be tricky, you have to have a rule to say that you can't hold on to the chassis when you pull them out.

Saw a lovely looking 6500 being unloaded at telehouse last week, it had obv slid about a bit in the van - 4 of the cards were indented in the middle about 1.5 inches !

Obv. been used for Jenga then, lol.

Karl... keep our jenga games under wraps, we don't want to get into trouble for all the dents in those CRS-1's we were playing with in the loading bay :P

Alex, I mentioned this to Peter Argyle (I believe thats how his surname is spelt) over at Amsys.co.uk (020 8660 9999) he was very interested. They teach CCNA.
