Is it a seller's market when it comes to used scanner radios? Are older, "vintage" scanners prices out of control?
What You Need To Know
- There is a shortage in the new market for P25 type scanner radios, especially SDS100 and 200, but prices are the same as for new ones in the used markets.
- The used market will dictate a solid price for that kind of radio because of less supply and high demand.
- eBay is the largest second-hand market for used scanner radios.
- The Facebook marketplace is another option for scanner radio purchases, but it is advised not to use the Facebook payment program as there is no protection.
- One can also find scanner radio-like stuff at Craigslist, and it’s better to find some cash-only deals from Craigslist.
- Don't be fooled by a scanner listing if someone simply puts the word "vintage" in the title.
- If a radio has been well maintained or in collective items or still in the box with manual and never been used, those radios collect a premium.
