    Cisco is expensive - and the used market price stays up too.

    But the small ISP I work with needed something that did more than
    their Cisco 2948 [early model]. They got a Foundry Networks
    Netiron 24 port - used - from eBay. It is is a level 3 switch
    and it can be turned into router only or router/switch.

    $400. Not being a name-brand that small business equate like they
    do Cisco the used prices are just a fraction of the comparable
    Cisco product.

    I see similar one for $495 =buy-now= and they have been lower.
