We have a couple of spare 2501s we're going to sell off to free up some
space, but one is a Cisco Pro.

Is there anything I should warn potential buyers about with respect to IOS
compatibility, availability of support, etc.?

Many thanks,

These tended to have a kludged bootloader which would only load Pro images
which tended to be somewhat feature impaired.

There used to be a fix availble for download on CCO which would patch this
(I think it was just a hidden config register option) and allow generic
2500 series images to be loaded.
