For Sale / Wanted / Barter / Where to buy used ham transceivers?

« on: February 13, 2023, 0246 UTC »

I am currently studying for my amateur radio exam (going for basic with honours) and I may want to purchase an HF transceiver some time. Used equipment because new stuff is a bit more than I want to spend. Where are some good places to look? It seems like nearly everything on eBay is untested which sucks.
