Hi. I have 2 of these triple band HD submersible transceivers with spare batteries, mics & chargers. They were used once (to test range) years ago and have sat in their original boxes since.
I note that these have been replaced by model FT5-DR which are currently on sale here for $ 519: https://www.radioworld.ca/product/ya-ft5dr/ft-5dr-2m-70cm-fm-c4fm-deluxe-handheld-transceiver
I'm looking to post these on hamshack and would appreciate some feedback as to what they're worth.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

You can get a rough idea by doing an advanced search on ebay. In the advanced search page, tick the "sold items" box. That will restrict the search to show only items that have sold. For auction items, this will show the actual selling price. For buy it now items, you can see how many sold for a lower "best offer" price (but not the actual transaction price).
Far from definitive data, but it can give you a feel for what the market thinks the item is worth.
Appreciated Lyndon. Very helpful
