What would my tech Bros do with an old Nortel Meridian 1 and 300 handset?

The market for old premise-based PBXs has taken a sharp downturn since Covid. It was already dying but WFH was the death knell when companies moved to cloud-based in droves. Larger companies that would fit in an Option11 have since moved to Teams or another alternative. Even companies that specialize in reselling refurb premise equipment have stopped looking for most equipment and are trying to unload their inventory.
You can try eBay but a cursory glance shows the cards going for $20-$30 each and controllers and cabinets around $100-$125. Wouldn't be worth the trouble to me but you may get some decent beer money. You'd still probably get left with a good bit of hardware.

I may pull some cards and put them up or something, I haven’t dealt with this in over 10 years.
I’m helping on a conversion and looking at all this crap we’re just throwing it away.

my first full time gig was installing and upgrading Lucent and Avaya systems then later Cisco routers and switches. Seems like a hundred years ago now compared to tech we’re using. I could still punch down a 66 block or 110 block and know how to use a tone tester! Get off my lawn!!

If I die and somehow go to hell, I'm pretty much convinced I'll be punching down 66 blocks for all eternity.

I would take that all day.
Terminating cat six with pull throughs would be my fate.
