Unless you have access to 3 phase power, dump it.

While a used panel (even new, but not from a wholesaler) may have some value. It's a hard sell. No company will buy it, so you are looking for someone that wants a personal 3 phase service, which is pretty rare. Toss it up on craigs list for a bit and see what it gets then recycle it.

no company will buy it but there are a TON of electricians out there who will buy anything if the price is right.

A resi panel would be easy to unload.
3 phase not so much. Unless it's loaded with breakers already. The tub and guts are only a couple hundred brand new. Unless it's a huge one, but then it's even harder to unload.

For liability I'd never install a used panel. I always want to be able to point a finger at someone else.

I know people will buy anything, so it's worth a shot. Just voicing my opinion.

yeah i would never buy a panel or breakers without a documented path back to the mfgr, but there are so many who do.

should be eazy to unload. i had like 8 of them in a storage unit i got all new listed them on craigslist within 3 days sold all 8

I looked at it but didnt have paper and pen with me. It is 208y/120v. Main is 3ph but all the rest are 1 wire breaker.

I might be interested in that box if you had more info on it and was willing to ship?

That do you need to know. It has 1 100 / 15 20/ 2 15 breakers. Its a westinghouse prl1 panelboard. Its never been used but it is 2/90. I would like to sell it.
