Your question is missing some vital descriptions of the radio you want to buy/sell. How many channels? 16-pin or 5-pin? Condition?

I suggest you take a look through the for-sale forum. This post was updated just today - http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=42878

Looks like about $150 incl shipping for a 32-channel, 16-pin 9-10 condition.

$150 is on the low side for a 42-50 and being 32 ch. should be a 16 pin
unless it been hacked. If it's original and Mint I don't think $225-250 would be unreasonable. $150's about right for a VHF or UHF.

The D in "7DA" usually means 16 channel. Such a radio probably has a 16-pin accessory jack, but I wouldn't say anything for sure.

There are 5 pin 16 channel 40 watt vhf maxtracs out there. I got one off Ebay for $110. Used it for awhile and traded it off for another one. $150.00 is about ballpark price, could go for more depending on who you can unload it off on.

on http://www.eBay.com sell for as low
as $50.00.

shape if u do your homework.
