I have found some descent deals on craigslist and eBay.
Craigslist is worth checking. Local recyclers. Anything that your place of business is getting rid of?
Go get from the same place you picked up the equipment for your CCNA lab.

If you’re near Keene, NH, I have a box of cisco switches, routers, and maybe a firewall I can’t give away.
Hi Brian- wanted to give you a heads up about the HPE SMB Marketplace , I think it could be a big help here. It’s a platform that’s designed to help you find the equipment that will be the perfect fit for your set up, and you’ll be able to find everything from servers to switches and much more. Plus, you can compare and contrast HPE products right there, filtering by price, requirements, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions, please let me know if I can help further!

Sorry for the delayed response here, but I just wanted to hop in and let you know we have a ton of new server options, ranging from HP to Supermicro. We do have a set of deals for recertified (refurbished) items, but we don’t have a lot under servers and most of the switches are currently sold out. NOW, you can order them today and we’ll deliver when it’s available, but I don’t really have a timeline for that. If you want to check out our servers, just let me know if something catches your eye! Happy to give you more info:
