Aruba and HP · Switch · 2007
The ProCurve 2610 family dates from 2007, when HP's networking division in Roseville, California, still sold everything under the ProCurve name it had filed as a trademark in 1998. The 2610-24 is the plain member of the family, with 24 10/100 ports, two gigabit RJ-45 uplinks and two mini-GBIC slots for SFP optics. Its siblings, the 2610-24/12PWR and 2610-24-PWR, add PoE. For a home lab the plain one has the edge, because HP's install guide lists it with no fans, while the 24-PWR is rated at 56.6 dB. It runs HP's R.11 software and uses an RJ-45 console port with an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable. HP bought 3Com in 2010 and dropped the ProCurve brand, and HPE's parts site says support for this model ended on September 30, 2020. Buy it as a silent Fast Ethernet switch for learning the ProCurve CLI, not for new features.

Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
Most trouble is the previous owner's config and passwords, not the hardware. Watch for a PWR model listed as the plain 2610-24, because those have fans.
Buying your first used switch or router? How to check used network gear covers the console, a factory reset, power supplies and optics, and our noise and power guide explains why fanless gear suits a living space.
Buying guide
We'd buy klingone78's J9085A titled WORKING! at $59 delivered, right at the median, and the photo shows it plugged in. There are at least 36 for sale, and US units mostly ask $35–90 delivered, so there's no reason to pay more for a 2007 switch that HPE stopped supporting on September 30, 2020. It's the fanless 2610, silent on a shelf, so check the label says J9085A, because PWR in the model name means a PoE version with fans. Whatever a 10/100/1000 title says, it has 24 ports of 10/100 plus two gigabit uplinks and two SFP slots. Skip the Belgian and Dutch listings, where $195–218 shipping turns a $17–59 switch into $212–254 delivered.

The lowest delivered J9085A, with free shipping, and the photo shows the plain 2610-24 front with its two SFP slots. It isn't titled tested and shows no rack ears, so ask for a photo of it powered on.
