would be willing to sell the CDROM for $20.00 + Ship, or if you would want me

user: You are replying to Mike Balistreri about "Help! heathkit prices?-REPLY".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mike:
                 A generally fair price depending on Cosmetics and operation
for the Transceivers of heathkit vintage is around $200 if really working
good, (a local ham can test them for you, look for a repeater club in phone
book), and looking good. If one or other is not real good, then down to $100
- 150.
as to the ancillary equipment 1/2 to 2/3 of original price if as above good
looks/condition/working . The worst that can happen if overpriced, is someone
will make a counter offer. Do NOT ever sell them for say "$20.00" for the
rig. And please, make certain that you are selling only to a licensed Ham.
Most hams do not have a problem with showing you ( or sending ) a copy of
their "ticket", with the words "non-operating copy " printed across it to
avoid misuse if lost. All hams already detest the incursions on HF modified
CB rigs are making.  Hope that helps a little. Also, to help facilitate,
check with the local Club(s) to see when the next ham-fair is going to be.
That might be easiest.......  Good Luck... John KB7WTD, in Portland, Oregon
