I found a President Jackson for $280.00. I was wanting to know if that is a good price and a good radio.It is like new it has all the paper work and box. There are no dents or anything on it.

It's kinda high in my opinion. They were a great radio, but you could get a BRAND NEW Magnum 257 for 100 bucks less, and have a way better radio. That is just my humble opinion though.

Indianatrucker,
A used radio is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
If you want it and you like it then that is all that count's. 
Personally for me it would not be worth the price.

1. How would you compare it to the vr9000.
2. I like the black faced radios but the vr9000 pictures Ive seen in 1 it looks brown but in the other one it looks black.
