If someone was collecting old luggable radios then who's to say what
the value of filling a hole in a collection is. As with a postage
stamp showing an upsidedown airplane on the front if you gotta have it
then the sky's the limit.

As a radio for listening it's probably worth $150.00 if in excellent
condition with manuals. The same as it's refrigerator sized cousin the
RF9000. Otherwise I would spring for a new E1 annd get a much wider
range of features and a better radio.
