[Elecraft] {P3] resale value

[Nr4c]

Jerry. It's only worth what you are willing to pay. 

Making sure you get the cables shouldn't be a big problem. Otherwise I've not heard of many (if any) issues with P3 units since its introduction. And there isn't much to "tinker" with. Elecraft gear is pretty solid and does seem to hold value well. If you think saving 20% will make it fit your budget I'd not hesitate to purchase. For a K3, that's a piece of change ( P3 + KXV3B = $900).
