I gave $230 for mine new when they were phasing them out. They are well
made and the heat sink is able to dissipate into the belt clip rather than
the battery. RX speaker audio is less than I want but at least the radio is
large enough to find the keypad.

If you can get one of the protective gloves for it, they will stay like new
for a long time.

I still have it, and everything works. I replaced the knobs and Antenna not
long ago. RF output has held up too.

What is a good price for a Yaesu FT-530, in excellent condition, with
charger and manual, in the box ?

Thanks and best regards.
