Best place for used ham radios?

[ebg18t]

Other than eBay/CL where is a good source for a used 2m/144 radio?

Any tips on what to avoid and look out for?

http://forums.qrz.com/forum.php for sale section. More reasonable prices and it is an all ham forum so you will probably find a bit more integrity.

QRZ is good, I've bought and sold gear there. Also http://www.eham.net has a classified section.

I prefer Craigslist or ham swaps for the face-to-face and hand's on, but the ham forums are usually alright.

I picked up a Yaesu 2500M from QRZ for $100.
Good price on a great radio. Ebay was much more and you never know what you are going to get.

I was about to lick submit on my yaesu 7900r order. But I found a icom and kenwood on qth that made me pause.. Just sent a few emails and will see what someone is willing to do..

yea if you are not rushed you can find a deals. I paid like $200 for my ft7900 shipped and it looked brand new. paid like $220 for my vx7 so just keep your eyes open and you can save yourself lots of money.
