[Elecraft] Average Cost of Used K2/100???

[Darwin, Keith]

When I sold my K2/100 with the SSB board and the Yaesu knob one year
ago, I think I got around $850 to $900.  Mine was in pristine condition
with all boxes / paperwork and included a custom felt embroidered dust
cover.  It was 2 yrs old, SN 4000-something.

Value of used things can be tough to establish.  My first stop is eBay.
You can see what stuff sells for there.  Then check the other classified
sites (eham, qth) and see what folks are listing there, but remember
that asking price may not reflect actual value.

If the item is still being sold new, then you can often apply a
"percentage" rule.  I figure a range of 60% to about 80% of new cost
depending on the condition & age.  With a K2, you have the kit factor
that further muddies the water.  Is an assembled K2 worth more or less
than the kit?  The answer varies depending on the buyer.

A friend of mine asked me at a local hamfest this last weekend how much
a K2/100 costs these days. I told him that I didn't know. He was
thinking somewhere along the lines of $400.00...but I told him that
seemed quite low to me.

Anyone know what the current cost might be or know of one available?
