> I have or had many of these sets and this past year at the 2019 MVPA Convention I was able to sell a complete SCR-284 (BC-654) with every accessory including the vehicle mount FM-41 and a SCR-506 (BC-652/653) with all accessories with chest CH-74 NOS with canvas cover and rack for $2000.00 Each, ready to install in vehicle.

> I also had a SCR-508 set (BC-603/604) complete with CH-74 NOS with canvas cover and accessories for the same $2k that didn't sell.
> I do think it's worth every cent of that but to ask $3.5k is just too much. Maybe on some of those overpriced dealers online are asking it but for the average person to realize those prices is highly unlikely.
> Not trying to be a downer, just realistic in my view.
> I have many sets to sell. Just don't have the time it takes to assemble and advertise or go to shows.
