Telephone System
Discussion

I am currently decommissioning an office building and have a Panasonic telephone system that is of no use to us.
It costs multiple thousands a few years ago and is in perfect working order.
Does it have any value or am I going to have to scrap it?
Saying a Panasonic phone system is like saying you've got a Ford car. It could be one of numerous models.It costs multiple thousands a few years ago and is in perfect working order.
Does it have any value or am I going to have to scrap it?
A photo or two and Ebay...
Very quick Google search comes up with https://commswarehouse.co.uk/buy/panasonic-kx-ncp1... - looks like the best part of £400 so might be worth punting on eBay for some beer money at least.

I saw that and realised it's refurbished but it doesn't have the cards with it.I'll try and ring them again as they didn't call me back.
Thanks.

It's a Panasonic KX-NCP1000 - not sure it's worth enough to warrant selling on ebay and all the hassle that will come with that.
Your call.I've just sold a bunch of broken phones for £15 on Ebay. The money will go in the "hobbies" kitty. It's surprising how quickly it adds up.

To wrap this one up I have just rang a few people and the only offer I got was £80 quid for the system and 18 phones.
Probably cost at least 10K 6 years ago.

That’s telecoms for you.Probably cost at least 10K 6 years ago.

You would get a lot more for it on the Bay though I expect. The value is in the handsets mainly but someone would probably buy the lot. Be careful with carriage costs though, I’ve just had to subsidise yet another postage charge (anyone who knows how to avoid that please chime in).
It just depends how much hassle you’re prepared to go to for beer money. Personally I go to extraordinary lengths to monetise old crap.

Having checked ebay the phones are as low as £4.99 on ebay. I can't be arsed with hassle for under 100 quid for the whole lot and my kids are too posh to do sYou would get a lot more for it on the Bay though I expect.

t like this.Small business is going VOIP (as have we) - just seems such a waste to skip it all.
Think I will have an open house a couple of weeks before completion.

I'd keep it for at least a few weeks after you/they go VOIP/SIP - could all go tits up and you'll be glad you kept it. 
They ran a dual system for a year and moved out a couple of months ago!Everyone was very sceptical but it's worked well so far and so cheap it's unbelievable.
ISDN lines, which a lot of these older systems use, are being phased out, BT lines will be gone by 2025, so all these systems may well be obsolete. VOIP is the future.
