I think what Dave was trying to make a point about was that folks at
Barracuda acted as if selling used hardware to others may not allow the new
owner to purchase updates, maintenance, etc. Dave talked to them, I did
not. The impression was that they would not support second-hand hardware.
It might be a good idea for you, Ross, to make a call to Barracuda and see
what the terms would be for update support for a new owner of this unit
before you sell it. At least then you would be able to tell a new potential
owner what to expect as far as costs to continue support for the unit. The
Barracuda units do work but if you do not buy support agreements for
updates and such then it is useless. The unit can be good as new and not
worth a nickel if the manufacturer will not support it with new spam and
virus signature updates.
There is no way you would know any of this, Ross. We have had a bad
experience with Barracuda regarding used hardware. That was all that was
being cautioned here. If you find out what the terms are for transferring
used hardware to new owners I would like to know what you find.

I have a barracuda for sale if anyone is interrested off list.
Switched
from Postini to Barracuda and it was like I turned off their oxigen.
Had to go back to postini.
So, if you are interrested email me off list. I will make you a deal
Fair warning for anyone who's interested in this: Check with Barracuda
first, to be sure you can actually do this. A few months back, I picked
up a used Barracuda Spam Firewall on eBay, and they wouldn't activate it
or provide me service, as it was second-hand.
There were other odd circumstances involving this particular unit, but I
got the impression that they don't like dealing with "used" units,
period. Call Barracuda, make sure this won't be a problem. (You may want
to get the serial number of the unit first, as that's how they track
update subscriptions and whatnot.)
