It depends on the version, the latest MKIIG, probably no more than $700,
keeping in mind at one point you could buy them for that price brand new a
few years ago, or close to it but that was a couple month thing, personally
I don't think I'd go above 650 for one in mint condition unless it came with
filters, voice chip, then the price may go up a little but really, not much
more than $700 yet if someone offered me 700 for mine right now, I'd take it
as is probably. Just an MK II, I really don't see many of those on the used
market, but probably no more than 500 plain if even that with no dsp, maybe
with features no more than $550, you have to remember, the MK II G was out
for 8 years at least so the MK II is an older radio at this point and a lot
were used mobile so have dings, scratches and what not. Having had the MK II
and MK II G I can say the receiver in the MK II G is a lot better than just
the MK II and the original is a little worse, and I'd consider even the G
model to be reasonable, not great by any means. The original, not worth much
I've seen some for 450 but they didn't sell and I told one of those guys
selling one he'd have to cut the price in half before I'd give it a serious
look.
