Value of used equipment

Tom Little-2
Guys,

In preparation for my K3 I am planning on selling some equipment.  Does anyone have a suggestion how I can determine the going prices for equipment?  I have several trancievers to sell and am not sure what to ask for them.  

Thank you,

Tom

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.

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.

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.

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: Value of used equipment

Darwin, Keith
In reply to this post by DW Holtman
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.

It is simple whatever you can sell it for just like any other market.

In reply to this post by Tom Little-2
Thank you to everyone that responded to my question about the value of used equipment, I appreciate you trying to help.  I was looking for a bit of an archive like the "Ebay Prices Realized" site.  Too bad it was last updated in 2002.

Thanks again,

Tom
