My brother left me an ICOM VHF/FM transceiver when he died. Model IC-V8000, brand new, in box. Looks like a mobile unit. Nobody on CL wants it.

Check the local clubs. That’s likely 25 years old and the tech has changed a lot, might not be worth much. Problem with the clubs, and understand that I am 64, is that most of the folks are in their 60s-90s. Not many under 60, even less under 30 interested in amateur radio. It is good for emergencies but nothing further nowadays.

If you're trying to sell it, most forums related to Ham radio have an "equipment exchange" where you can check prices and list it for sale. Also, shops that sell radios, antennas and related accessories often will take used gear in and sell it on consignment. ICOM is quality equipment; somebody will want it. CL is being slowly killed off by stuff like Facebook Marketplace (there are amateur radio groups on FB as well).
