Re: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment
It is simple whatever you can sell it for just like any other market. 73 Sam kf4yox - Original Message - From: "Darwin, Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 8:45 AM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment The value of used gear can be determined through several means.

Re: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment
Try looking at qth.com in the classifieds category. Almost amything you want can be found there eventually, and a good source of pricing as well.

Re: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment
QRZ.com also has a swap meet / for sale forum. Though I only tried that once, and did not have any luck. But you can at least see what people are asking. - David Wilburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] K4DGW K2 S/N 5982 On Tue, 2008-01-01 at 16:11 -0700, Tom Little wrote: > Guys, > > In preparation for my K3 I am planning on selling some equipment.

Re: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment
If memory serves me, on eBay, to see prices equipment 'actually' sold for, you have to login, and thus register. The other place I look is the eHam classifieds. I actually like that better than eBay, as I have been screwed too many times there. Not saying everyone is, I just have that kind of luck. But I digress, I have enjoyed selling stuff on the eHam classifieds. Sometimes you get a hit right after it is put up, thus no waiting. If it doesn't work out, eBay will still be there. - David Wilburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] K4DGW K2 S/N 5982 On Tue, 2008-01-01 at 23:31 +, Ken Kopp wrote: > Tom, > > I'd try eBay.

Tom, To to http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/RefineSearch?_trksid=m37&dfsp=1&from=R40&satitle=r-9087&sofindtype=1 click on completed listings. It will give a good idea of what rigs are selling for.

Re: [Elecraft] Value of used equipment
Tom, I'd try eBay. You don't have to be a member to look. I've sold thousands of dollars worth of radio equipment there and have never had a problem. Great place to do business, with all buyers/sellers rated. My rating is 100% (:-) Log onto eBay and you'll see a search feature. Enter the make/model of what you want to check on. You can look at currently active offerings or at sales history for the past 90 days. 73!
