I'm planning to buy used Cisco L2 or L3 switches for my home networking lab for study purpose. I have seen some ebay seller selling used Cisco switches on ebay but most of them don't have much rating to trust them.

Please share your experiences if anybody bought Switches online or if anybody know trusted delaer of selling used Cisco networking gear.
 
Buying cisco gears from ebay india will be expensive. And finding trusted dealer is another hassle.
You can try http://www.routerbazaar.com/index.php
Although his pricing is slightly higher but you get proper equipments. You can give my reference to rajesh.
I had bought mine from usa. back in 2005-06 i was able to get 2501,2511,2509 for around 50$. Those are outdated routers but still you can practice on them.
For switches i had bought only 1912 and 2950. Both for 130$.
Your best bet would be bringing switches from usa to india via relatives. Dont even think about shipping route. Custom duties on this high end routers are exorbitant.
I have discussed same topic in past. Don't recall where is that thread.
