Where do you guys buy extra phones and crap for your phone systems? We have an old Tadiran system that we get hosed in the rear end by the people who sold us the system whenever we try to buy parts. They want $300 for a phone etc. I've found them on eBay but I know there are better ways. I knew of a somewhat local guy who sold Lucent phone stuff but he doesn't deal in Tadiran.

I think everyone hates the phone vendors because everything is so secretive, overpriced, and poo poo. Extera serve us well in the UK, they sell Avaya stuff at tiny margins just to shift volume and piss off all the partners trying to make money from hardware instead of services.

My company sells a lot of old equipment to these guys. ECI owns the maintenance rights to Tadiran, I believe, if you haven't tried them. I think any grey market EOL hardware is going to be outrageously expensive. That's the entire business model for these companies. The material is essentially worthless to the companies getting rid of it, yet extremely valuable to companies still using it. Replacement/maintenance costs is often one of reasons we get rid of old equipment that is mostly otherwise working fine.
