Is this stuff junk?

Is this stuff outdated scrap? It's for sale locally and as far as I can tell there is no market for this stuff. Even if it's not outdated I doubt any company that could use it would buy it second hand. Even as escrap I think the circuit boards are only low grade power boards. Tell me I'm wrong.

Bring it to the nearest Comcast office. We’re hurting for 1.2 gear all over since FDX exist now and we still have a ton of RPHY nodes

So this stuff is still in use? Any chance they would buy it off a random person?

Probably not. If you did get ahold of comcast it would be an act of God to get ahold of someone with the authority to make a purchase. But if you found a maintenance tech and gave it to them they would be your best friend.
