Value of an older definity...

[uthorns]

We are buying a new phone system, so we had someone come in and price out our definity for trade in or resale. She sent word back that they would give us $600.00 for our system including phones. I know we have an older version, but 600 bucks, does this seem right? I'm not looking for you guys to give me a value on our system, just wanted to make sure we were not getting totally screwed.

Here's basically what we have:

45 hybrid phones (mainly BIS-22d, 34d)
30 analog phones
5 digital phones

Definity G3v3.01.0.034.4

Thats probably about right. The cards in there will not support the new digital type sets. The TN747 cards are only of use to a customer who has analogue trunking, which means small customers. The company buyin git back will likely only use the parts as maintenance spares for other older customers. You sort of think of it as trying to trade in a Commodore 64 when everyone is using Pentium 4's.
