Title: Sale of old equipment...
Post by: kkoh on March 07, 2019, 03:36:14 PM
Hi,

I looked at the single forum rules post and didn't see anything regarding this but wanted to ask before posting to be safe...

I have two old pfSense boxes (Lanner FW-7541 (http://www.lannerinc.com/products/x86-network-appliances/desktop/fw-7541)) that are about to get cycled out as I have new hardware arriving today. Is it acceptable to offer these up for sale here? I won't be asking much... just wanted to see if any home users have a need as they are still working models but are underpowered for my office environment and the extras I'm now planning to run.

I can post them on eBay of course but to save on all fees involved and keep it cheaper I'd rather offer them up straight in this community as it's the intended audience for this hardware since pfS will no longer work with non AES-NI boxes.

Thanks,
kkOH

I read somewhere they skipped the AES-NI nonsense at least for 2.5, but I have no idea what the mods think of garage sales in the forum :-)

I hadn't heard that. I thought 2.5 was the cut-off. Hmmm... well they did stop supporting nano installs over a year ago and these boxes, at least with the gear I have in them, are still running off of 4GB CF cards so to be up to date opnSense is the better choice anyhow (among other reasons  ;D )

SO, how much is not much? You have PayPal or Venmo.

Email sent. I'm still not so sure they want me posting.
