I am a new Elecraft owner and didn't know much about them when I purchased my K2/100 s/n 0473. I found out the hard way that the deal I thought I was getting was soon squashed once I did most of the upgrades to bring it up to date.(Firmware and Hardware) Still have more to go! Buyer beware.
That being said, I ended up paying a decent price and had a great learning experience doing the upgrades, and integrating the KAP100 into a newly built (by me) KAT100, as well as well as building and installing a couple more options. My point .... make sure you know whats inside the rig you are interested in buying, it will be a major factor on the price you pay. Unless the rig you are considering is up to date and fully loaded, I would recommend getting very familiar with the Elecraft website and all of the options and upgrades available along with the costs of each. If you are working on a budget, don't forget to factor in shipping and builder fees. If you are doing it yourself and have never built before, you may have to factor in the basic tools needed to build the kits you plan on adding to your used rig. In my case, solder, magnifier, cutters, grounding strap, Pana-vice, and soldering station. This stuff adds up fast! Once you have all of this information you should know what you would be willing to pay for a used K2/100.
