Vendors allege partner program misuse feeds gray market problem

The abuse of vendor channel market programs -- including partner rebates and other incentives -- plays a bigger role in the sale of gray market IT gear than previously thought, according to an industry group made up of IT vendors.

Shades of gray: Tight economy spurs concern over unauthorized technology sales

Used networking equipment resellers unite -- and threaten the channel

Cisco VARs want vendor to police fraud, unfair pricing in the channel

Secondary-market resellers thrive in the tech industry

Gray market resellers sell used products as new or counterfeit products as the real deal.

According to The Alliance for Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement (AGMA), a group backed by Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Deloitte Development LLC, a majority of the 12 vendors surveyed think abuse of channel incentives such as special channel pricing feed the gray market.

“We’re always looking for root causes, and we found that channel incentive program abuse had a bigger impact than we thought,” said AGMA spokesman Scott Olsen. Improving partner programs, but tightening up reporting requirements, could help ease the problem.

Some VARs agreed that fine-tuning partner programs could bolster VAR-vendor relationships and keep partners on the straight and narrow.

“It might help. It’s just another form of enticement, and it does help build a better line of communication,” said David Dadian, CEO at PowerSolution.com. “I can understand why vendors are trying to tighten partner programs.”

Unauthorised network reseller spams local IT professionals

Recent spam highlights the importance of knowing how to spot authorised solicitations

The Australian networking community found itself spammed recently by a reseller of secondhand Cisco, Juniper and Alcatel network equipment.

Numerous IT professionals received an unsolicited communication from West Gosford-based Network Re-Marketing Pty Limited (Networkr) titled ""Cisco/HP/Juniper/Alcatel / SFP EOFY Sale.

Despite the reseller priding itself as an “established reseller of used Cisco and other networking equipment” on their website, the direct mail from Networkr raised more than a few eyebrows among IT professionals.

“I was surprised, as I didn't think an Australian company would stoop so low as to send unsolicited email,” said an IT professional, who wished to remain anonymous.

“Any company who has dealt with the networking sector in Australia would know we frown upon the whole practice and would go to great lengths to never buy anything from them.”

The contents of the mail were limited to a short message - “We have the following equipment in-stock ready to be sent out. Each item comes with the Network Re-marketing 1 year RTB warranty. All prices are ex GST.” - and a list of used network equipment that are currently stocked and available to buy from the reseller.

The fact that the direct mail arrived without any prior solicitation was enough to send alarm bells ringing in the minds of some recipients.

“A certified Cisco reseller shouldn’t be stooping to unsolicited email,” the IT professional said.

“If it was solicited, for example through a previous business relationship with a subsidiary or perhaps the company name had changed, then they should have made it clear it had occurred.”

While most IT professionals are aware who their authorised partners are in the channel, those who don’t should be aware of the potential pitfalls of dealing with unauthorised resellers.

“Cisco takes the providing of partners and customers with reliable, high-quality network technology and services very seriously,” Cisco public relations spokesperson, Linda Horiuchi, said.

“Cisco recommends that our customers always purchase products from authorised sales channels as Cisco can offer no assurances to the quality, authenticity, or legitimate ownership of products bought outside the authorised channel.”

‘Deadbeat bidders’ dog eBay sellers

Sept. 5, 2002 — It’s the quiet fear behind anyone who’s ever sold anything on an auction Web site. What if the winning bidder doesn’t pay? Sellers offering up pricey Cisco Systems hardware on eBay recently know what that feels like. Well over $1 million in Cisco auctions have been ruined by bidders who simply disappear after the auction has ended. Some say it’s an elaborate fraud orchestrated by “the Cisco Raider.” Others think it’s just vandalism. But perhaps of greater concern, some eBay sellers are getting the feeling that the problem of disappearing auction winners is getting worse.

They're called “deadbit bidders.” They ready a bid that’s sure to win an auction, far above market value, and when the auction’s over, they just disappear. After three such incidents, eBay generally suspends the user. But that’s no deterrent. Determined deadbeats just re-register under a new name and start all over.

It’s more than just an aggravation for the eBay seller, who now has to start the selling process over again. eBay doesn’t refund the listing fee — $3.30 for items over $200 — so that’s lost. Any other marketing fees, such as placement on eBay’s front page, are also lost. The seller must fill out two separate forms and wait about a month to issue a complaint and ensure that eBay doesn’t deduct its selling fee.

And the consequences are even worse than that, according to one repeat victim of deadbeats who asked not to be identified. The loss of time can cut deeply into sale prices.

“One item I had to list three times,” he said, because the first two auctions for the Cisco router he was selling were ruined by deadbeats. On the third try, he sold it using eBay’s “Buy it Now” feature “just to get rid of it” at $650. It likely would have sold for $800 at the initial listing, but in the interim four weeks, routers from failed dot-coms flooded the market.

It’s difficult to say just how widespread the problem is, but three avid eBay sellers told MSNBC.com their deadbeat rates can vary between 5 percent and 15 percent. eBay power seller Geoff Giglio, who auctions 300 to 500 items each month, said he sees 20 to 40 deadbeats monthly.

Marc Van Horn or Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., says deadbeat rates are high and getting higher.

“In one month I had 14 percent deadbeat bidders for my auctions,” Van Horn said.

eBay spokesperson Chris Donlay said “that sounds high,” but added that “I have not heard a sitewide statistic.”

“It’s not a large amount,” Donlay said. “If you look at all sorts of fraud, it amounts to just one-one hundredth of 1 percent of transactions.”

Foundation targets refurbished computers for schools

TELECOMS company Digicel will soon start selling hundreds of refurbished computers to educational institutions at less than half the price of a new unit, through its newly formed Camara Foundation.

Digicel Foundation chair and board director of Camara, Lisa Lewis said starting this September the newly established foundation is hoping to put these computers in some 50 educational institutions islandwide yearly, while teaching scores of students and inner-city residents how to refurbish the units.

According to Lewis, this social entrepreneurship project, will introduce technology to the education sector in a meaningful way.

"It is not just about exposing you to a computer but what are you using that computer to do, so it has to be for an educational objective," Lewis said as she addressed editors and reporters at the Observer's weekly Monday Exchange held at the newspaper's head offices in Kingston.

"The second part of that is to use the facility to teach people how to refurbish and maintain computers so we are focusing on our inner-city communities hence why we are launching and starting our programme in Penwood High School (in Waterhouse)," she explained.

Explaining how this will work, Lewis said the students currently enrolled in the Career Advancement Programme (CAP) programme will be the initial volunteers who will be trained to refurbished the computers before the foundation moves to training community members.

She said the computers will be sold for just what is needed to cover the cost for more computers to be brought into the island and to facilitate the training of more persons to refurbish them.

With the foundation expecting to pump some US$100,000 per year into the programme, Lewis said they were motivated to establish this organisation as it aligns with the sister Digicel Foundation's goal to improve literacy across Jamaica.

Lewis explained further that the other component to the programme will be the training offered to the users, hence the reason why computers will not be sold to individuals.

"When we sell you a bulk of computers it is not just the computers we are selling.

"Along with that comes a warranty and training as we will be training teachers to use this technology to improve the educational standards, presumably literacy," she said.

She said the first 600 computers to be refurbished have already arrived in the island from Ireland.

The foundation is hoping to get the rest of the equipment from the United States.

Buyers Used Cisco, Data Center Network Surplus: 800-654-1302

Cisco Catalyst 6500 upgrade leaves classic users behind: So what?

Network Hardware Resale – reseller of refurbished Cisco equipment and continual thorn in the networking giant's side – has a beef with the Catalyst 6500 upgrade announced at Cisco Live 2011 Las Vegas. That is, if a beef can be considered a new way to make more money.

While some Cisco users were confused that the company announced a Catalyst 6500 upgrade instead of releasing the Nexus 7009 at Cisco Live, Network Hardware Resale (NHR)vice president of marketing Mike Lodato says the real problem is that Cisco only upgraded the Catalyst 6500-E series, but not the classic chassis.

Cisco will officially end-of-life the classic Catalyst in November 2012, ending all customer support for the components. That will mean classic Catalyst customers will either have to upgrade to the E-series – or turn to NHR for support (enter violins for NHR here).

“The meantime between failure of a typical Cisco product is 20-plus years. They build an awesome product. Ninety percent of failures are manufacting errors that happen in the first 90 days,” said Lodato. “So how dare you make me buy a new chassis when there is no business need?”

Meanwhile, one network engineer at a multinational firm, who uses a mix of classic and E-series switches says it's unrealistic for customers to demand Cisco or any other vendor support components that are 12 years old.

“At some point every company has to move on,” he said.

Meanwhile, if customers choose to move on to the E-series, but wait close to November 2012 to do it, they will likely end up facing a lengthy shipping backlog (some predict it to be about six weeks). That will also be a boon to NHR, which keeps both E-series and classics in stock and ready to ship within a few hours, Lodato says.

For those that don't want to upgrade to the E-series, NHR has a clear message:

“If you like what you have, we're here to support you,” Lodato said.

AtWork! plugs in to statewide electronics recycling effort

Evergreen State consumers recycle old electronics by the bushel — more than 100 million pounds of outmoded computers, monitors and televisions since January 2009.
The haul is equal in weight to 181 fully loaded Boeing 787s.

Some 400,000 pounds of the statewide tally started as drop-offs to AtWork! The nonprofit organization helps connect employers and people with disabilities.

AtWork! operates a recycling center in Issaquah. The organization started collecting electronics in 2009 as the state rolled out E-Cycle Washington, a program to collect old electronics.

“That 200 tons of electronics has translated to more than $65,000 in revenue for our organization,” said Andrea Simmonds, director of development for Bellevue-based AtWork! “For us, every dollar that’s made in one of our social-enterprise businesses is a dollar that we can plow back into our mission of helping people with disabilities to find jobs in the community. So, for us, it’s kind of a win-win situation. We get to help the environment and it helps our ability to execute our mission.”

The organization sends, on average, two full trailers to E-Cycle Washington for processing twice each month.

Schools in the Issaquah School District also joined in the e-cycling effort. Liberty High School parent volunteers joined e-cycling nonprofit organization 1 Green Planet to host drop-off events during the school year.
