Used CB Radios

If they get someoone to pay that price they are way ahead. Saw a nos trc418 for sale on ebay for $176.00. At the same time there was a NIB TRC 418 for $15.00. So I bought the $15 one, as far as I could tell it had never been removed from the box. Last time I checked the high dollar one was still being listed a year later.

 

Assuming you are referring to eBay. Some sellers on there think their stuff is worth gold. I've even seen people asking $50 for a used Cobra 19 Ultra 3 on Craigslist when a new one is $35 at Wal Mart.

Also many truck stop CB shops jack the prices up. Back when a General Lee sold new for $189 brand new online, shipped with a conversion done for 11 meters, there was a local CB shop inside of a Petro asking $299 for the same radio and I don't even remember what the conversion costed.

But of course there's always those who overpay for a radio, then overpay to have all the cool gadgets added, then tries to sell for a higher than usual price because "I got $600 invested in this Cobra 29 so I'm asking $300 for it."

 

What is a nos trc418?

 

NOS/NIB...interchangeable.

New Old Stock and New In Box respectively.

 

one of these

 

That is a NOS trc-418?

it is the NOS thing that I'm wondering about, what the hell is that?

AND DON'T say New Old Stock, there is no such thing in the radio world.

 

What do you call it? Vintage unused?

My latest score was a uniden 66a, '92 model. "Vintage unused" still wrapped in plastic, but the box had fallen apart. Works like a new one

 

let me know when you run across a new in box Icom 7000 for $400

 

Lol.. I will... if I find more than one
