RSGB 2020 Convention Online presentation - How to get most out of the dealer for your part-exchange

Please note that the views expressed in the presentation and the Q&A don’t necessarily represent those of the Radio Society of Great Britain.
Martin Lynch, G4HKS
After over 42 years in the ham radio business Martin knows a thing or two about trade-in values for equipment and accessories.
In his presentation Martin goes through the best method of achieving the most for your part exchange or outright sale. This not only applies to selling privately but to a dealer.
“Poacher turned game keeper”
Martin turns the tables and gives you his tips on how to handle the negotiation when you’re trying to get the most for your radio and the dealer is trying to give you the least.
To clean or not to clean? That is a question and you’d be surprised how much difference it can make to the value.
Should I keep the box and wrapping or just throw it in the bin for the new rig I’ve just purchased?
Should I bother to do any research on how popular my rig is before I call to trade?
When is the right time to sell? Should I hang on to it because I’ll lose too much if I sell now but is it likely to fall much more over the next twelve months?
This plus lots more will be discussed in the usual Lynchy fashion plus an insight into what goes in to buying and selling used gear as a profession. It’s easy isn’t it?

Easy. Don't use dealers. Just sell yourself and pass on the middleman 👍
