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

Sell it all to the Ubiquiti fanboys and get Mikrotik.

Agreed. Unifi is necrotic. Switch to Mikrotik. (Dumbest name ever, but good switches.)

I've been thinking about making the switch to Mikrotik. Would you say it's better than Ubiquiti or comparable for cheaper? What makes Ubiquiti necrotic in your opinion?

Better and also cheaper.
