Motorola Radio Forum

I was at an estate sale (fancy yard sale), and this old retired electrician had 5 Motorola radios, chargers, microphones, extra batteries etc. I bought the lot for $400.

Then, I posted one radio on eBay (model APX 4000). The auction has gone over $600 with a couple days left.

My question: is there a Motorola Radio forum similar to the Pelican where I could sell the remaining radios without the potential scammer factor that goes along with any eBay auction over about $100?

I have received a lot of questions from the radio community on eBay, along with trade offers and an obvious scammer offer.

I'm a radio tech, however I very rarely visit any radio forums. I would go to this one if I felt I needed some info though. The forum would likely give you information if you're looking for that but I'm not sure you will sell any better of this forum; ebay still may be your better bet for selling.

What a score at that estate sale! Finding five radios and all the extras for $400 is impressive. I once snagged a bunch of old gear at a garage sale and turned a nice profit too, but I was nervous about selling online because of the scams.For your question about where to sell, have you checked out RadioWarehouse? It’s honestly the only good place I know for finding a great Motorola radio and connecting with other enthusiasts. They have a solid community, so you might find someone interested in your remaining radios without dealing with the usual eBay hassle.
