If you want strictly "Used" with no 6m, I bought my TS-870S rigs each for
about $900 via Ebay.
IMHO, check for loose change in the couch, etc. and come up with about $30+
more and buy yourself a ***NEW*** TS-480S. It's 160m-6m...and portable as
heck to boot (even mobile if you get the bug). The display/remote head is a
thrill just too look at...not to mention so easy to contest with. I
finally bought an SKB case (Pelican-like), and fit the rig + small MFJ
25amp switching power supply into an airline-friendly size carry-on for
X-pedition trips. The RX pulled in sigs better than an FT-1000MP MK V in
an A/B test I did :-) For about $200 more, you can get a 200w version but
not built-in tuner.
