B-Line Value?

 

Hi Guys,
?I have B-line that's been sitting around unused for a long time guess I lost interest in them. Anyway thinking of selling what's the going price these days for a clean, recapped set with good copper chassis?? I was thinking maybe 700-750 unfortunately shipping cost has made selling outside my local area almost cost prohibitive. Will try to sell locally first.

Dave, the prices have been falling a little bit but, as I often say, "condition is everything".? If they're fully working with no blemishes and shiny copper, then your price is in the right area.

The days of getting $400 for an R-4B in average shape passed us around 8 years ago.

I purchased a nice set about 6 months ago with some extras (spare finals, mic, keyer, digital display) for $575

FWIW in December I bought a working B-line with absolutely pristine
copper for CAD$500 (~US$360). I think it might have come with an
MS-4/AC-4, but my memory is too broken to remember now.

Hi Guys,
?Okay thanks, yes seems like the market is soft for a lot of these old radios not too sure where its going to go.
?I've been slowly down sizing my radio stash to just a few radios that are frequently used, but even those being old military type equipment will soon be hard to sell off do to a very niche dwindling market.

I just sold one a couple of weeks ago and got $330 for the r4b and t4x. No ps or ms4.?
