Cobra 148gtl DX MK2 Taiwan value?

[Cable Guy]

Got one here that was given to me, it's an older model, I recapped it, unhacked it and aligned it. It is clean, stock and all functions great, someone wants it but I don't know what it's worth. I was thinking ~$120, but have been told that's too little. Opinions?

Honestly 148 gtl's sell on fleabay for $130-180 or more, the DX model more than that... Your are factoring in your cost (gracious offer it is) and not even adding the value of your time to recap and align the radio.
Search fleabay for sold items to get an idea.
You can place it on a yellow table cloth on a dryer and ask $1200.00 for this rare one of a kind, only gifted to the finest Cobra dealers .....
Wait that was another story

Thanks Jeff, I have about $30 cash and ~1 hour labor in it. I will compare feebay.

I'd say $200 OBO

Thanks JJ, I think that's a great price for a friend in need. I can't believe what folks on eBay are paying. I'd never sell one on there tho, with all the crooks and you-know-who practically stealing radios and reselling them, or removing parts and sending back what they don't want. I'd rather get a fair price locally than to take that gamble out of greed.
