How often does the Yaesu 857d go on sale? Looks like they have a $100 instant rebate on it right now.

Not finding any used for under $750 and even those don't last long. The $500 ones are sold in minutes. :(

I like to monitor qrz and things come up occasionally..   no affiliation but searched craigslist 857 and one surfaced 2 days ago. Linky  Most hams are good but you cannot verify the rig..

Qth.com is good as well.. now i only have picked up used and this is how i search...

I've been watching them for a while. Thirty go pretty quickly though.

I'm really just wondering with the $100 off if it makes since to just get a new one with warranty

And another big sale for Black Friday, with some deals still running until the end of this month.

Any of those better than $100 off?

Good choice!

I got my second one NIB here in GA off craigslist.  Had to drive a ways, but $500 for the radio was nice.

No.

It didn't "happen to me".

I searched ham radio on CL the same time every day for 8 months to find that deal.

I check them all in the morning, problem it's there is a factory $100 rebate ending at the end of this month. I'll probably just pick one up new. :(

It's a fine radio, you will not be unhappy.

I may have a spare USB cable around here for it if you do pick one up.

The time around Hamvention time traditionally is the biggest time for sales, as well as new product introductions.

More recently there seems to be more sales around Black Friday/Christmas as well.
