Welcome to The Vintage Ham Radio Price Guide
Want to have a good idea of the value of your old Ham Radio? Well you have certainly come to the right place, I am keeping a large database of Ebays and various other auction sites Vintage Ham Radio price realizations.
You might want to look up some prices for a ham radio you have inherited and want to see what a good price would be to put it on the for ever growing Ebay. Or maybe you have owned the radio for along time and want to see what there going for, i can certainly tell you, you have found the ultimate price-guide. I keep records of Ebay's prices for a range of Vintage Ham Radios, along with their photos and description to help give a better idea why something may look underpaid for or overpaid for. Feel Free to browse the Ebay Price Guide section to find your radios up to date prices. I will continue to stock all radios of Ebay sales here, so the site will continue to grow.
NAVIGATION has been altered, clicking on each radio brand under the drop down list titled "Ebay Prices" will take you to a page where you can then select a particular model. I find this easier than the previous drop down menus, please send me feedback if you feel differently or can see a better way of navigation.

The Overall Price Table (Work In Progress)
Here i will attempt to update a quick and easy to access table that will show the highest and lowest prices for each vintage ham radio found on Ebay. It will also include the date in which i recorded these figures, i am learning to code the table below so all in good time :)
Clicking a model number will take you that a page of reordered Ebay listings of that model.

The Radios I have come to own
Since i last updated i have come by two of my favorite brand radios, a Collins 51j-4 receiver and a Collins KWM-2 Transceiver. Hopefully the start of a big collection in the future :).
Both had their fair share of faults to fix which i had a lot of help from the Collins group in america in fixing. Both operate well and i can here worldwide ham stations with my homemade dipole on a good day. I still however don't have my radio licence yet, i just haven't had the time with so much highschool work to do. So i don't know how the KWM-2 transmits yet but grade 12 for this year is almost over so i am hoping for a bit more time next year to play with them. |
I am hoping to do a course in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering with Aviation Australia next year, fixing electronics to me is allot of fun and i see a great range of complex systems upon airplanes to fix including radios.
