Ebay listings are a good gauge of market prices.

Ebay.  Or list them on your company website.  Also, the isp-equipment
mailing list at isp-equipment.com.  Maybe the bottom advertising forum at
webhostingtalk.com.

It's probably your best bet.

Expect that a liquidator might give you half of the market price at best.
After all, they're likely going to sell at or below market and have to make
some profit.  If you're leaning that way, you're probably interested in
selling at a price range at which I may be interested in some units.
Contact me off-list if you'd like.  Email through the contact form on the
site in my sig will get to me a lot quicker than email to my list email
address.
