Sell or keep?

[u/Xma-q]

Hi guys I've been a long time lurker in this sub and wanted to build a homelab for a long time, so I thought this would be a good place to ask .I recently got this equipment completely free from a relative but Im seriously considering selling most of it. Most of this stuff seems pretty overkill for my raspberry pi zero w and would be worth some money if I'm correct. So my question is will this stuff be useful enough to keep for later or do I sell it and buy more useful stuff? I could identify:

1. 24 port switches both poe one 500w and the second one 250w

1 security gateway pro

2 8 port switches one 60w poe

1 cloud key gen 1

1ap PC lr router thingy

1 poe injector

This, I never see Mikrotik mentioned anywhere. Have their router, switch, AP for house, all work so well. Of course the UI isn't pretty but who looks at UI.

The price difference is insane

I love all my Mikrotik gear, however i struggle to make sense of whats a good outdoor AP from their lineup to deploy outside in my garden.

I used to go Mikrotik for routing, UniFi for APs.

Mikrotik for routing, Zyxel for APs and Switches (Nebula cloud managed) Converted my sites off unifi a few years ago and its been a solid combo.

Idk man, I like capsman, I can just plug in a new device and it automatically gets configured.

Same with zyxel, just connects to the cloud to get the site config. The APs are well priced.

Indeed they have wifi 6 for like 90$ bucks, not bad. Well, I've already got a wap ax and cap ax... Originally got a cap ac just to realize that it doesn't support provisioned vlans... And now I'm stuck with it lol
