The best place to sell used Cisco equipment is a buyer who resells it
Most of the companies that come up when you search for where to sell Cisco gear are brokers. They take your list, shop it to a reseller, and pay you what is left. IO South is the reseller. We buy and sell Cisco networking and server equipment every day from offices in Marietta, Georgia and Cincinnati, Ohio, so the offer you get is priced against what the same equipment is actually selling for right now, not against a broker’s margin. We buy the whole lot, not just the current-generation pieces, and we handle pickup, data sanitization and processing once you accept.
What we buy
- Catalyst switches: 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, 9600, plus 3850, 3650, 2960-X and 2960-XR
- Nexus data center switches: Nexus 9000 (9300 and 9500), Nexus 7000, Nexus 5000 and Nexus 3000, with fabric extenders
- Meraki: MS switches, MR access points, MX security appliances (claimed or unclaimed, see the FAQ)
- Routers: ISR 4000 and ISR 1000 series, ASR 1000 and ASR 9000, Catalyst 8000 edge platforms
- Cisco UCS servers: B-series blades, C-series rack servers, Fabric Interconnects and chassis
- Security: ASA and Firepower appliances, Secure Firewall
- Wireless: Catalyst 9100 and Aironet access points, wireless LAN controllers
- Optics and modules: SFP, SFP+, QSFP28 and QSFP-DD transceivers, line cards, supervisors, power supplies and fans
What your Cisco gear is worth today
Value follows generation, configuration and quantity. Current Catalyst 9000 and Nexus 9000 platforms hold the most, because they are still in deployment everywhere and buyers want them in volume. Catalyst 3850 and 3650, Nexus 7000 and 5000, ISR 4000 and the ASA line are past end-of-sale but still move on the secondary market, priced on refurbishment and parts demand. UCS servers are valued on generation, processors and memory. Optics and modules are bought by the part number in quantity. Send the model numbers and counts and you get a specific number back, not a range.
Sell Cisco servers, switches and routers in one lot
A decommission rarely comes as one product line. A closet or a data center row is usually Catalyst at the edge, Nexus in the core, UCS behind it and a box of optics. We quote the whole list together, so you are not shipping switches to one buyer and servers to another, and the pickup happens once.
How it works
- Send your list. Share the models, configurations, quantities and condition.
- We evaluate. IO South reviews it and makes a fair-market offer at no cost, usually fast.
- We handle the rest. Once you accept, we manage pickup or shipping, data sanitization and processing end to end.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the best place to sell used Cisco equipment?
A buyer that resells Cisco gear every day and can price it against real resale value, pay for the whole lot rather than cherry-pick, and handle the logistics. IO South does all three, from offices in Marietta, Georgia and Cincinnati, Ohio, for single units and full decommissions.
Do you buy Cisco servers, or only networking gear?
Both. Cisco UCS B-series blades, C-series rack servers, Fabric Interconnects and chassis are bought alongside the switches, routers, security appliances and wireless.
How do I sell Cisco gear to IO South?
Send the model numbers, quantities and condition by email or through the form on this page. IO South evaluates the list and comes back with a fair-market offer at no cost. Once you accept, we arrange pickup or shipping, sanitize configurations and process the equipment.
Do you buy Cisco Meraki equipment?
Yes. Meraki switches, access points and MX appliances are bought with the licensing status disclosed. Unclaimed units and units released from a dashboard are the most straightforward; tell us the status and we will quote accordingly.
Do you buy end-of-sale or end-of-life Cisco gear?
Yes. Older Catalyst, Nexus 7000 and ASA lines still have an active secondary market. Send the model numbers and quantities and we will tell you what they are worth today.
Do you buy optics, line cards and spare parts?
Yes. Transceivers, supervisors, line cards, power supplies and fans, in quantity. Tell us the part numbers and counts.
How is used Cisco equipment valued?
By model, generation, configuration, quantity and condition, against what the same equipment is reselling for now. Current-generation Catalyst 9000 and Nexus 9000 hold the most value; older generations are priced on the parts and refurbishment market. Send your list and the offer comes back fast, with no cost or obligation.
Do you handle data sanitization and pickup?
Yes. Configurations are wiped and the equipment is packed, shipped and processed by IO South once the offer is accepted. You send the list; we handle the rest.
Do you buy from outside the United States?
Yes. IO South buys domestically and internationally. Share the location with your list and we will confirm the logistics with the offer.
Do you buy a single Cisco switch, or only bulk lots?
Both. One Catalyst switch from a small office or a full data center decommission of Nexus, UCS and optics. Smaller lots are quoted the same way, against real resale value.
