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!
