Agree, the grey market won't help you for modern devices, 
simply because they're too new, and any sellers on eBay and 
friends will just be pushing product at the same price as 
you'd get them from official channel partners.

CRS, ASR9000, ASR1000, Nexus, the new ISR routers, the new 
brand of switches, e.t.c., are out of the question.

They call this "Cisco Remarket". It's like selling a car to 
someone else two minutes after it leaves the showroom. As a 
buyer you get a discount, but you're better off buying a new 
unit yourself.

Mark.
