This afternoon at the EZ Pawn shop I saw a little Uniden hand held
scanner for sale for $57.00.The label the pawn shop stuck on there said,
June 21, $47.00.Is it worth that money? assuming it works OK? It says
NASCAR (I reckon the factory put the NASCAR logo on the scanner) on the
front of the scanner just below the digital readout panel.I will wait
untill June 21 if I decide to go back and check it out.

Uniden made HUNDREDS of scanners.

a) Get the *specific* model number.

b) Go to eBay, look up Uniden Model XYZ in the "Completed Auctions"
section.

This will answer your question as to worth.


Yeah, that sounds about right. I have about a dozen of the things here,
base and hand-held, except for one, they all came from flea markets,
yard sales, second hand stores ... I have never paid more the 10 bucks
for one, with the exception of the one I bought for about 100 bucks.

I tired of police, fire, ambulance, sewer plant, public parks, air port,
etc. very quickly ... I will get the wife to sell them at here yard sale
this summer ... probably just keep the one I paid a lot for ...
