radio recomendations

Yes, they do. You can find a deal on ebay but they are rare and you NEVER know what you are getting.

Peruse the classified section on QRZ.com. You should find several good deals there on used equipment and most Hams wont rip you off. I just buy most of my stuff new now.

The current trend when selling used radio equipment is to check ebay to see what it brings there and then the seller wants to set the price at that amount. You'll have to haggle and when they say, "It is on ebay for xx dollars" you can respond with, "Put it on ebay then."

 

I check QRZ and Eham too. If I dont find somethig by the time I take my test, I will just buy a new one...
