Interesting approach, even if not sure it will get anywhere on this one.

10k is typical value I use for network protection purposes, anything

1) 200-300 used
2) 8 onboard X2, 2 slots for modules for 4/8 X2, 8port X2 modules 
support twingig, or 20 GigT, or 8 10gT (those are pricey)
3) 4500 platform vs. 3xxx
4) no licensing subscriptions
5) Software only 4 years old

Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch  Software 
(cat4500e-ENTSERVICESK9-M), Version 15.2(4)E7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

6) 2U, Dual PS, external CF, 4 post mounting
7) Rock stable.

uptime is 3 years, 27 weeks, 23 hours, 5 minutes


There are plenty of places left for gear like this, especially as CPE 
and especially considering the alternatives I see people putting in.

If you got suggestions for gear less than 4figures with similar or 
better qualities, I am all ears.
