DC 30 Value

Hey Guys I have been a way from the coon world for a little while and was wondering what the going rate for a stock DC 30 was these days. Has a wall charger also. Thanks for the information.

I would not take $175 for mine, but on that same note, I would not pay that for one either!
I had the opportunity a couple weeks back to buy three of them. Had I bought all three, I could of got them for $350 total. That comes out to about $117 a piece. These three were locally owned from a guy I did not know, but since he was local, I would have had every opportunity to check them out thoroughly (except for their battery capacity). This opportunity is unique because most items on here are not local to wherever you may live so the thorough check out is not an option.
I passed on these DC30s simply because they had the round charging ports. That means a battery change would be necessary soon, and these units have had several years to be highly used. The DC30s with the newer charging contacts are a little harder to date, but you can bet any DC30 with a round port is first generation and OLD!
Personally, I would not give $80 for a DC30 with a round charging port but a DC30 like mine I would probably go no more than $125. Of course that is because mine work flawlessly. Should one of mine die I might give $150 in a desperate situation but I would not like it. If I had a 320, I would get the new DC50 and not even consider a 30 or 40!

I would not pay more than $100, but based on the classified section it looks like you they are running a bit more than that. Keep in mind however that most used items are open to negotiation and most items advertised on this board are adding a bit for shipping...
Looking at the classified section of this board i see several for sale...
