[Collins] Advice on KWM-380 sales price

[Dan Frank]

Hi,

 

I am considering selling my KWM-380, and would like some advice on a
reasonable price to ask.

 

The radio is serial number 763.  I believe that all service bulletins
through #18 were factory installed, including the WARC coverage
modification.  It is in excellent condition cosmetically, and fully
functional on the air.  It has been very lightly used.  The following
accessories are installed or included:

 

*	150 Hz. CW filter
*	300 Hz. CW filter
*	1.7 KHz narrow SSB/RTTY filter
*	DK4XY second generation speech processor
*	Digital interface and keypad.  The keypad was homebrewed with the
correct Digitran part, but I was not able to obtain the original base
casting and had to use a metal enclosure.
*	DC power cable (unused)
*	Plastic dust cover
*	User manual
*	Original packing carton.

 

I am the second owner of this radio, and I have most or all of the original
paperwork from the first owner, including the bill of sale.

 

I also have the following items, which I could either include or sell
separately:

 

*	SM-280 desk microphone
*	Service manual and service bulletins
*	"1000 Club" QSL cards printed for original owners with serial
numbers below 1000.  These have the call sign of the original owner on them.
*	Several glossy KWM-380 brochures, and copies of various magazine
advertisements for the radio.

 

I would appreciate some input from the group about the right price to ask,
and how to package the radio and accessories to obtain reasonable value.
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance.

 

73,
