Question of Value

[jb3822]

Hello Hardware Forums! I hope your combined expertise can help me out on a spot I'm in. I have recently come across some networking equipment from a defunct business, and I am curious to what I have in my hands. Would you all be able to give me a ballpark value for these items? I'm hoping that they're not junk, but if so, that would be welcome news too so I can clean the space. Thanks for your help!

Here's the specs:

US Robotics Total Control Enterprise Network Hub used
The boards inside are

• NETserver PRI Card
• Network Mgt. Card
• AC PSU 70A x2
• Quad V.34 Digital Modem x6
• Dual PRI NAC

CELLplex 7000 by 3COM used
The boards inside are

• CP 7000 HD Switch 32x32
• 7600 Fast Ethernet I/F Card x2

These have both completed a power on test.

Also, in new condition (in static packaging)
PA-24PRTB-A x2 by NEC Electronics

I appreciate any help that you can provide!

It is something that I am really not to famillar with and may have other models. The us robotics total control may be as high as $1500 and the 3com maybe about $500... having said that, like I said there are different models and options + may be old technology that might not be in use. Try going to the web site of the manufacturers, i don't think 3com is in business anymore, they merged with US robotics.

The US Robotics Total Control seems to be fetching $150. Additionally, I found a review done in 1997.

For the 3Com CELLplex, it looks like $250-300 would about the most it would be. As with the Total Control, a review dated in 1997 popped up.

The NEC PA-24PRTB-A cards seem to be asking at least $600 each, but I've seen them also asking close to $1,500.
