Estate sale for silent key; many current-model radios and equipment, near new

NOTE:  Despite bidding being closed as of May 1, many items are still for sale.  All bidders have been notified if their bid was successful, or if their bid did not meet an established reasonable price (i.e. reserve bid).   The items that have sold and are no longer available are indicated “<SOLD> and those with a successful bid awaiting payment will be listed as “pending”.  Any remaining items that are unsold, or for which no payment is received by the deadline will be brought to the Maple Ridge Amateur Radio Club Swap Meet on Sunday, May 7th.

If you would like to place an offer on any item that is not yet sold, please do email me.  I will note your offer and if it is above what the item will reasonably fetch at the swap meet, you will get it.  If your offer is below what I expect the item can fetch at the swap meet, I’ll note your bid and bring the item to the swap meet.  If the item doesn’t achieve a higher price at the swap meet, I will contact you afterward to determine if you’re still interested in buying the item.

Listed below are many items from a recent silent key that was part of our club and his entire radio collection is being sold on behalf of his family.  He was only licensed in 2019 so most items are near new with very little use.  Many items are sold with the original box, where noted.

I’m accepting bids on individual items until 23:59 April 30th.  A price range has been established for each item and if a bid exceeds the expected high value (termed the “Buy it Now” price) the item will be considered sold.  Bidders will be informed on Monday, May 1st if they were the winner.  They will have until that Thursday to pay for the item.  Any item that is not sold by May 1st will be taken to the Maple Ridge ARC Swap Meet on Sunday, May 7th.  See the website:  mrarc.net for details on the swap meet.   Sorry but due to the cost of shipping, potential scams and issues with selling such a large lot of items, only local sales are available.  Items to be picked up in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows/Surrey/Langley areas.

Regarding the operation and any expressed warranty:  As noted in the list, most items are tested and confirmed to power up, receive and for transceivers in most cases, tested on transmit.  The transmit test was just a repeater kerchunk, no audio-quality testing was done.   Where noted, all transceivers passed that test.  The owner was a club member and it’s believed everything he had was virtually new, well cared for, and works perfectly.  Buyers are welcome to test prior to buying if they bring a power supply because items are sold as-is.  Despite them being “as is”, I’ll wait a week after the May 7th MRARC swap meet to provide the money to the SK’s family, so if you have an issue extending beyond what I tested for in that time, you can contact me and we’ll work out an arrangement.  The silent key was a great man and he would have done the same, so I’m sure I have his blessing on that.

Please bid individually on each item via email to VA7DBJ [at] gmail [dot] [com].
