You can pick up programmed UHF Desktracs on ebay for ~150, programmed.  Like
Joe said, Desktracs are not high-duty cycle repeaters (not good for Ham
Radio) , as well they are not NB capable so commercial uses are about out.

I sold my two for $100 each, unprogrammed.

 $100 will take it off their hands, so they are hard to sell here on the West
 Coast, even when they are cheap.

 Good Luck and I hope you find a buyer for your unit.
