When is the market best? Is it ever best? Can you see any rise in sales of
second hand uk40s?

Got a time machine?

I can imagine the dropping of CB licensing bringing about a small increase,
but nothing major.
I have already seen the licensing changes mentioned on a motoring related
Website, so there could be a bit of a market open up in mobile CBs again
once the licence has gone.

Even new prices are quite low, when you compare the 80 channel sets to the
£100+ that the 40 channel ones cost in late 1981 and early 1982.
CB has followed the usual product life cycle concept... it just went through
the stages rather quickly. However, now and then people suddenly start
going for some old craze again, like skateboards or Yoyos... so who knows.

If people get tired of throwing money at mobile 'phone companies (who are
raking in millions), and see the possibilities of CB for general chatter,
then things could pick up.
But the CB businesses need to start advertising beyond the few existing
users, and start targeting those who do not have one, those who may not have
even been born when they became legal here.
