I’ve run across something that has caught my attention and I’m just wondering if anyone else has ran across anything similar. I’m looking at buying a new Cisco switch and as usually I get a few quotes to keep everyone honest. BUT as I start getting the quotes in I start to notice that on a switch that MSRPs for about $4000 the prices are over $300 different between the places. Which really through me for a loop. I talked to a few of the vendors that were at the higher range and they said that it is impossible to be that big of a difference and they can’t even get close to that price, they even said their cost is higher then that. The funny thing is that they have always been competitive with other Cisco products. Has anyone else seen this? I even talked to someone directly at Cisco and told him the differance and he said that’s not right they must be quoting you on different products. But they are not. I’ve heard that there is a Cisco gray market out there that’s why it really worries me. And if not a gray market they why are those other people so high? Why would they even sell Cisco if the can’t be competitive? Thoughts?
