I just got a Sangean 803A that was purchased at an auction where someone had
bought the radio and never took it out of the box. It is untouched. This, as
most of you know, is a great shortwave portable. Equal in many ways to the
Sony 2010 in my humble opinion (with the exception of the sync detector that
makes Sony the better receiver on difficult signals), but, for overall
reception the Sangean is hard to beat, and actually has better sound quality
than the Sony. Nice looking, nice size and weight...a really great shortwave
radio. The question I have concerns what the value of this might be...given
that it has never been used... I'd appreciate any idea of its worth and what
a fair price would be were I to sell it. Thanks and happy dxing...
Long live shortwave.

Put it on eBay. You'll probably get $1200 LOL

I had that same feeling Mr. Bearcat...

It is an interesting question. A new Sangean 818, the radio that
replaced the 803A goes for about $160 new. I think most people with
experience with both radios recognize that the 818 is inferior. So I
could see someone paying upwards of that for a mint new in box 803A.
And of course there is the "you can't find them new anymore" factor.

Good used ones go in the $75 range + / -

A good resource would be the Yahoo 803A group. They probably could
weigh in on it with more precision.

Also, I see a good condition used 803A as a better alternative to the
overhyped CCRadio (unless you gotta have that wx radio or the all
important TV audio). With those going for $160 & the 803A having
shortwave (+ ssb), I would see this new in box 803A being more
valuable than a new CCRadio.
