Thank you very much, Eric.

Your report of your experience confirms the good things I have heard.

Of course, you probably didn't get as much as you could have for your TS480,
had you tried to sell it on your own, since I think they are going used
today for something like $700, but I am not sure their trade-in price for
you was totally unreasonable.

Here's my question now:

Did you have to send them your rig first so they could appraise it, or how
did the entire trade process work?

I may give them a call tomorrow just to get more info too.

Thanks for sharing your experience.  Hopefully, others than just me will
benefit as well.

Hi Tom,
You asked for experiences regarding trading in equipment for new with Main
Trading Company.

A few weeks ago I called them and said I would be trading in a Kenwood
TS480SAT toward the purchase of a Kenwood TS590S.

They offered me $550 in trade.

I received the new gear on December 22nd with the VGS1 and Tcxo installed.

They charged me $50 to install the accessories.

I am well pleased with this company.
