The value of used gear can be determined through several means. If the gear is still being produced you can use the current new price and figure yours is worth a percentage of new cost. I figure 80% for top-notch, in demand gear down to maybe 50% for stuff that is a bit rough (i.e. a mobile rig).
If it is out of productions stuff, then my first stop is eBay where I check what the item has sold for in the last 30 days (requires login). One warning though, eBay is it's own market. Values and prices on eBay may only be correct for eBay. Other places the same gear may be worth a bit more or less. The other thing to do is to hit the ham classifieds and see what folks are asking for their gear. That can be hit or miss since the stuff you want to sell may not have been listed or may not have actually sold. One benefit of eBay is the auction style lets the gear rise to its value without you having to know what it is. The buyers determine what it is worth. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 Wave 3 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
