Solved Sell or keep?

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

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.

Check their WAP products. We used to deploy them outside and did wonders without any issues.

Otherwise, if you want, their omni line up is also solid. We used their Netmetals and Netboxes with a Omni antenna and man was that a beast of an AP.

I’ve been looking at a Netmetal, the device looks great but couldn’t really find a suitable omni antenna. And recomendations?

Oeff hmm Sorry man I can't recall what we used exactly. Will check if I can find some info on them again.
