Cheap 40Gb/s Mellanox Infiniband Switch worth it?

Looking to try and achieve the fastest throughput possible on a budget and came across several switches on Ebay for Mellanox and QLogic switches that are 40Gb/s with QSFP+.

From the perspective of normal routing/switching with Cisco 2960/3560 or Dell N2200 or Powerconnect series, how different or how challenging would it be to connect these switches to my network?

Are there any 'Gotcha!" that I should be aware of?

How is it that these are so cheap???

Here is a link directly to the eBay page, hopefully this is allowed:
