Default Do people still buy CB Radio's?

I'm asking B/C I'm going to try and sell my 40 Channel Realistic TRC 222, But I do not want to waste my time posting if I'm not going to get any bites.

Works great, I just don't use it anymore.

And what is the going price for something like this in excellent condition?

Thanks

Not really. in today's world they buy ham radios and convert them. illegal as it get's but who cares not the fcc. so i would put it on craigs list with pics and see who bites.

I looked into this a while ago, and I found almost exactly what has already been said. Mostly though that CB is being used, overall, less and less.

With a quick 'google', I see a pair of them currently at $49.00. No idea if that's 'acceptable' to you or not.

You might take it to your next city council meeting and tell them it's the next big thing and that they need to "upgrade" their radios to it and that you'll sell it to them for only 14.2 million dollars. Be sure to use that word "upgrade" that's very important and tell them it will keep them safe from al qaeda.

Maybe connect a little LCD voltage meter to it and tell them it's "digital" and will help make them "interoperable".

That would be what I would do.
If they don't bite, there's always ebay. You can use the same description there but include "GMRS" and "HAM" or something like "95% NEW"
