You will see occasional ads in the equivalent computer magazines, or in data or telecom mags, but for a magazine of over 100 pages of little else but ads for new/used/whatever telecom stuff you want "Telecom Gear". Many of the companies selling there DO NOT WANT to do retail sales to end users/hackers, but others could care less who they sell to. It is reasonable to be a data or alarm wiring type who is just doing a job and has this customer request that lets him break into some interconnect work which should lead to more, etc. Any reasonable line that makes you 'trade' but explains any 'stupid' questions should get you by with the used gear dealers. "Telecom Gear" bills itself as "The Market Place to Buy & Sell Telecom Gear". Yuo m i g h t be able to get a single comp copy to 'see if you want to subscribe', but you WILL LOVE IT, SO SUBSCRIBE!
