My SO and i are both working on our Cisco certs, and since he is more the "hands on" type, I'm looking at trying to find some used Cisco gear, and unfortunately going on eBay and dropping 5K on one is not really an option.
Long story short, does any one have any suggestions on where to look?
edit: apparently Im formatting my ebay searches poorly, b/c now its spitting "Home Lab Kit"s at me, still needing ideas for where to look, because we want to be able to experiment (read alter settings until the network screams for mercy) with several vendors.
