I'm looking to buy some refurbished switches for a project and came across NetworkTigers.com. The prices seem surprisingly low, and I'm curious if anyone has experience buying from them. There was a discussion about this site a while back, but it's been about five years since then. Any thoughts?

Their pricing looks reasonable for second-hand network equipment. I'd say they're as trustworthy as any place selling gray market gear, so you should be fine.
I bought refurbished Meraki switches from them a couple of years ago. No problems at all—great pricing and everything worked perfectly.
I've been buying networking gear from them for about 15 years, though not as much recently. They used to go by Andover Consulting, but they're reliable. They even shipped some items overnight for me in the past when I was in a pinch.
Just a heads up: don't use them for US government networks. Apart from that, I’ve had no issues with them.
That's a relief! I just set mine up in the House of Commons.
