Used Amateur Radio Prices Seen Various Places in 2002-2003
At the end of this 2002-2003 section you will find some old material from 1994-1998, and some other links to good pricing guides
| 1995 | 2003 | 2004 |
I have listed what I could find of KQ4BY's old 1995 data and the main list has some newer prices seen on the web, at hamfests and heard on the swapnets etc.
I also have a list from 1998.
After 2002 I started another list shown here:
(UPDATED REGULARLY)
N.B.
This is NOT a list of radios ANYONE has for SALE!!!
Do NOT e-mail me asking to BUY one of them!!
This list is NOT intended to be a LEGAL GUIDE in any way. The prices noted should NOT EVER be used
to determine any legal settlement as they are VERY limited in their scope and do not accurately reflect the prices for which radios and other electronic junque often change hands.
This list MOSTLY includes only ASKING prices, and these are ones that I have seen various places.
I am NOT going into many details about options, minor accessories etc. For this and other reasons, you may see a wide range of prices. Selling prices may actually have been less than what you see here.
If you see a DIFFERENT price (serious ads only) outside the range listed, please e-mail me and let me know. If I have time I will add it!
What you get here is a RANGE of prices. Some of the lower ones may be for uglier radios that need work.
The higher end prices are often for new unused units or ones that are in mint or collector quality condition.
PLEASE BE AWARE that the actual selling prices are sometimes below these asking prices!
Someone can ASK for a high price all they want; it DOES NOT mean that someone actually PAID that much nor that the item is 'worth' that price! Please keep that in mind as you look over this list! No one is obligated to sell something for the prices listed here, and you will often find a generous or kindly ham who is willing to sell you something for far less in order to help you, in the spirit of amateur radio. Our hope is that these prices will not get artificially inflated by dealers and investors posing as boatanchor enthusiasts and hobbyists, whose only desire is to run up the prices or to withold items from the inter-amateur market in order to secure an exhorbitant price from a nostalgic radio amateur at a future date. You will see the good, the bad and the ugly here!
Basically you pay different prices for used amateur radio equipment based on WHERE you buy it
and WHO is selling it to you! I am listing 10 different sources based on the range of prices typically asked.
They are listed from the best (lowest) to the worst (highest)
- Friend who cares about you!
- Friend, other(!)
- Hamfests
- Yellow Sheets, Electric Radio, AWA magazines etc.
- Internet e-mail groups
- Usenet Newsgroups
- Trader Nets
- Dealers
- On-line trading, e-Bay Auction or other auctions etc.
Number 4, 5 and 6 may not differ much and I really had to guess on the order of some of these. It is pretty much a matter of opinion. Your mileage may vary. Opinions on prices are like armpits; everyone has at least two! As you can tell the above is somewhat tongue in cheek. If you are offended, don't worry, you will get over it!
Please DON'T write to me asking things like, 'What is a Heath SB-994?' - I will not be able to answer things like that because chances are I don't know, or I am too busy!
ALSO - DON'T write and ask me things like 'Hey, where did you see that SB-994 ad? Who is selling it?'
If you have suggestions for improvements in this service or POSITIVE comments they are welcome via e-mail also.
And now, on to the bones!
NOTE: 'SH' means that the price INCLUDED SHIPPING!!
