I've been wanting to pick up some equipment for getting into HAM and various other radio freq. receiving and broadcasting for some time now. Admittedly I have not done all of my research yet, but I unexpectedly came across an advertisement for what appears to be an excellent condition Realistic
DX-200 Receiver/Transmitter for $75 on a local classifieds site. I was wondering if anybody might have any input on whether or not this is a decent price and, if not, what sort of price I might want to attempt to talk the seller down to in negotiation if this is still somewhat decent equipment to use.

looking at right now

Thanks for your time and assistance on this matter!
