[ForSale-Swap] Any vintage BC swap groups or sites?

[kd4e]

My experience is that they are a very friendly bunch and do 
not mind at all responding to questions, even those about 
the value of radios belonging to family members that you 
have been asked to sell for fair market value.

There is a fellowship there where they sometimes will make 
parts, incomplete radios, and documentation available to 
one-another for free (usually plus shipping) or very 
inexpensively.

There are also some who post for sale very nice radios for 
very high prices -- it is a pretty diverse group.
