Hi All,

Sorry if this post is miss-placed. Does anyone know a good site for second hand marine radar sales? There's not many on ebay and even iboat only seems to have new units listed.

cheers

Welcome aboard, Oman.

Where are you located?

Moving this to the Electronics section for better exposure.

for second hand, sites like Ebay, Craigslist or Kijiji woudl be the only ones that come to mind. Usually people dont remove working electronics, they only replace them when they die.

Radar units have a limited life expectancy. Either the screen gets burned in or the magnetron dies.

Given recent development in radar and the drop in pricing, not much incentive to buy a dated, unsupportable unit when you can buy new technology with a warranty for not much more

There are some deals out there if you wait and keep looking. Keep checking Kijiji... I picked up a barely used but older Raytheon system complete for $200 last fall. The seller had just bought the boat, the previous owner had barely used it. The new owner was upgrading all of the electronics, adding multifunction displays, etc., so the old Raytheon with CRT had to go. Works perfectly. So - there are some deals for cheap guys like us - but you have to keep looking, and when you find it, grab it.
