USED HF & 6m RIG PRICE SURVEY 20 Aug 1993 Version Here is a list of actual transactions involving buying and selling of HF amateur radios. I have absolutely no affiliation with any ham-radio-related business. Rigs are sorted by maker, model, and price. All transactions were made within the past three years. I welcome any additional responses; please indicate maker and model of your used rig, date bought/sold, how sold (Usenet, retailer, on air, private, etc.), price, condition, and any accessories or options.
