What is it and what is it for?

This is a good quality 24-port 10/100 switch. It's a 1RU high unit.

There's a DB9 console port and a connector for connecting a 3Com redundant power supply.

See here for more detailed information

What is included?

You get the unit and a power cord. It's got rackmount brackets attached.

There are no modules in the back, but there are cover plates. If you're happy not to have the cover plates (ie holes where the two modules would be), I'll give you a $5 discount on the purchase.

Sometimes I have more than one of the same item and I only take a photo of one. This means that, while the photo is of an item the same as that in this sale, it may not be the actual one I send you. It will not be any inferior to the photo, and should be virtually identical.

If you're bidding internationally, note that any power cord/adaptor etc will be a standard Australian type. If this is a problem, contact me before bidding.

Condition 

Cosmetic 

Cosmetically, this is in good condition. It's not new so there are a few scratches, scuffs and marks on it. There may be remnants of labels on it. Of course, none of this affects its operation.

Functional 

I have tested it by powering it up and checking the POST messages on the console, as well as the status LEDs. It's working fine under those circumstances. I've reset it to factory defaults.

I'll give a 7-day DOA warranty. If it doesn't work 100%, I'll refund your money (less the postage) and pay for postage to return it. I can only offer this to buyers within Australia, but if an International buyer has a problem, I'm happy to negotiate.

Shipping

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter your Australian postcode or country in the calculator below to calculate total shipping costs for this item.

If you're paying by PayPal (see below for conditions), under their new rules, registered postage is required. It is also strongly recommended for any item over $50.

Internationally, you will need to choose Registered/Express Post International.

See more detailed postage conditions below.

Postage costs can be combined on multiple items.

Payment

You can pay by

• direct deposit via Internet transfer 
• PayPal - Registered Post (or equivalent) is required - see above.
• cheque on an Australian bank (but we'll have to wait until it clears before shipping - usually takes a week, even for bank cheques),
• Australian Money order,
• Australia Post COD (Australia only – buyer must have eBay rating >10 – buyer pays all fees) (not for fixed postage)
• pick up locally (Brisbane)

or any other method agreeable to both of us. Any payment method must be in Australian dollars, negotiable in Australia.

This is a private sale, so no GST is involved.

General conditions

International buyers are responsible for any customs duty, etc. I'll describe the item accurately on the customs declaration. You'll also need to confirm, before you bid, that the item is permitted to be imported.

Due to some bad experiences, I have had to block bidders from a couple of countries. If you find yourself in this situation, and you're serious, contact me and, if your rating is OK, I'll make the appropriate arrangement so you can bid.

If your eBay rating is 5 or less, please contact me before bidding. If you don't, I may cancel your bid.

Happy bidding. As always, don't bid unless you want to buy it. I always leave feedback (positive or negative).

Any questions, please contact me via this site.

OK ….. here’s the deal ….

What do I expect from you?

If you win the auction, I expect you to contact me within 3 days and arrange to pay within 7 days. I need you to provide me with a correct address for me to send the item. When you get the item and you’re happy with it, I’d appreciate feedback on the eBay site.

What can you expect from me?

I value my eBay rating and I have every intention of providing good value for you. I recognize that you’ve only seen a photo and read my description of the stuff you’re buying. I’m sure there are odd cases where I have omitted to put in something that you may consider important but I’ve just forgotten or maybe didn’t realize was important. You’ll only find this out when you get the stuff.

If there is some unforeseen discrepancy between what you’ve expected and what you get, I’ll usually refund your money. If it’s obviously my fault, I’ll also refund your postage. If it’s worthwhile, I’ll also pay for you to send it back. Note that this only applies to “unforeseen discrepancies”, i.e. it doesn’t cover things that were in the item description, or could be seen in the photo.

I’ll leave feedback on the eBay site for you. If all goes as well as it nearly always does, it will be positive. Only if someone doesn’t pay would I usually leave anything negative.

Shipping costs and details

The following applies unless I have specified shipping costs as being fixed (usually only within Australia). At the end of the auction, when I know your postcode, I’ll estimate the postage based on my measurements of weight and size of the parcel (as in the item description). I’ll add any handling charges and tell you how much it is likely to be. This will be based on best estimates. Sometimes, when I get to the Post Office, they’ll charge me slightly more or less. If it’s more, I’ll wear it. If it’s less, I’ll offer you a refund if the difference makes this worthwhile. If I know upfront, I'll send it in stamps with the item. If I find out after it's been packed, I'll transfer the money if it's above about $2.

I'll try to get the best pricing for postage (on your behalf) and that may sometimes mean that I need to slightly deface the packing (box, etc) of the item, for example by putting packing tape or an address label on it. If you want to keep the packing looking as pristine as possible (for example, if you plan to resell it, or give it as a gift), please tell me if you buy it and I'll pack it differently. Packing or postage costs may be slightly different in this case. Again, please ask first if this is likely to be a problem.
