Have the seller send you the output of a "show version" and a "show module".
Will you get blank plates to cover the unused slots and power supply bay?
Rack mounting brackets?
Can you get a picture or a guarantee that it doesn't have major dings.
At work I have a 5505 that didn't survive shipping. Bottom line is that
Cisco will repair it for $686.25. Make sure that it is properly packed,
enclosed in a plastic anti-static bag, and insured.
I'd check the specs on the 5113. Not sure that it will do trunking. Must it
be included in the deal? The Sup II should do trunking. Be aware that the
Sup engine has fiber ports. If you plan to use them, you will need a media
converter. Consider shopping for a 5225R blade that will do ISL, dot1Q, and
FastEtherchannel.
Never be afraid to walk away from a deal. If you have not already made a
commitment, consider the risk/reward ratio. Saving a few hundred dollars (at
best) against getting a boat anchor. There are reputable dealers who will
guarantee what they sell. Brad Ellis is a member of this list. I have
purchased from Jimmy Turco of OptimumData in Omaha, NE. (Former place of
employment of Neal Rauhauser who provided free labs to the list. Kitty labs
with Cat5ks).
I have paid quite a bit of "tuition" to learn not to be too anxious about
buying something. Be patient.
