Used Heil HC-4 and HC-5 elements are very easy to find in the $70 range. I had poor luck getting my HC-4 mic to sound good when I purchased my first Elecraft K3s so I switched to the Heil IC electret element and it sounded much better. John KK9A Tony wrote: I was looking an original

Depending on electrical and physical condition and how quickly you need to sell: 50 to 65% of new cost. Accessories sell for about 75% of new cost only when sold separately and only about 50% or less when sold with the radio because few buyers a willing to pay a high price for accessories
