Default Where I could sell 6 NEW SecureXL Turbocard?

Hello,

I hope this is an OK place to post this, if not please let me know where a better place might be and I will put it there. Thanks!

I have 7 NEW SecureXL Turbocard (Corrent S3500 TurboCard, CPVH-STC-1) for sale. But, I am keeping one for myself though it is quite overkill considering my traffic on my home network. But, hey these things are really cool. So, I have 6 in total to sell.

I have tried selling them on eBay a couple of times but got no interest. I guess if you are looking for this type of product you wouldn't expect to see them on eBay.

I know many people in the industry but nobody is currently in the market for any of these.

So, does anyone have any idea of where I might be able to sell these? They have a list price of $15,000. There is one reseller that always has them listed on ebay for $11,700, which is lowest price for this type of card new that I have EVER seen.

I am hoping to sell them for around $5,000 to $6,000 each (which is a significant bargain) and would be willing to give discounts for orders of more than 1. Of course the more purchased at a time the more flexible I can be. I would also be willing to work out support over the phone or in person installation and configuring of these in your Check Point Firewall environment. Look at my introduction on this forum to get an idea of my qualifications. Again, the more sold to a interested party the more flexible I could be on this.

If someone had a market to sell these they could buy them and make a significant profit for themselves.

Below are some details about this product and answers to questions I get about them (#1 has to be how do I have them and are they stolen? NO)

First of all, I was given these by Check Point, while working there, during their move of their support center from Grand Prairie, TX to Irving, TX. It's a long story. Those were crazy times and it was a way that I could be compensated for a big project I worked on. But, I have been asked before if they were stolen and the answer is definitely NO. If someone has real interest in them I would have no problem with them contacting Check Point, I would be happy to give you my supervisors contact information.

Anyways,

They are brand new, never used and this is their basic function:

SecureXL Turbocard A PCI add-in card that delivers multi-gigabit throughput for VPN-1 Pro(3DES, AES) and FireWall-1, across all packet sizes by offloading processor intensive security operations. The card provides three Gigabit Ethernet ports for use in server platforms running SecurePlatform.

When used with SecureXL this can add an order of magnitude on the amount of traffic a Check Point Firewall module can handle. The card maintains a copy of the state table so that once a session has been authorized by the Firewall rule base the card can pass the traffic without the system seeing it at all. If you do any encryption / VPN it will handle all of the encryption on the card so your CPU won't get loaded down with that chore. I have seen these cards in action and it will allow a single Firewall module to pass multi-Gigabit traffic. It has 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

You can find out this and more by looking at the CPUG review at:
Product Review: Corrent S3500 TurboCard

It's just a coincidence that the best review I could find on this product was here on CPUG.

Thanks for reading this and any advice about where I might be able to sell these at!
