Your right Mike! I phoned Customs at Niagara Falls NY and they told me
first off that if its not a commercial sale, a private sale is allowed
"customs free". They also mentioned that because of the age of the article,
it no longer constitutes a threat to the U.S. economy and therefore is not
dutyable(there word not mine).
$150 U.S. should be about right for the Yaesu....I pay shipping and
insurance.

Erm ... IIRC, used amateur radio gear isn't dutiable on entry to the
USA, unless things have changed since I last looked that up. Whether
you consider the FRG-7700 to be ham gear is, I suppose, up to you.
