Hello
Not a technical question, please remove if not allowed.
Looking to purchase Cisco Switches and a router for home lab and Cisco Cert. Does anyone sell Cisco Retail? I have a local Micro Center in Maryland and Virginia with a limited selection. Anyone know who has enterprise class switches (24 and 48 Port) in a retail store?
Amazon online seems to have a great selection and I see other selling older home lab equipment for study, I just want to see equipment before purchasing.
Thanks

Hi,
a good place to purchase new or used Cisco products is eBay. Some vendors even offer support. The local Micro Centers are not Cisco re-sellers and buying from a regular Cisco re-sellers for lab use is too expensive.
As for models, look for 3750x and or 3800 series. 3850s maybe still too expensive.
here is an example for the 3750x
