Default Good CB radio price?

I've been looking for a cb and I see prices all over the place. I found a cb radio, mount, antenna, and mount for about 80 bucks.. I was wondering if that was a good price for all of it? I've heard people say cb's are really cheap, but I've also heard they're a pretty penny. So I was just wondering whats a good price range.

that seems like a fair deal. it all depends on brand and model. you can get a full setup for $30 of some real cheap crap. if its good stuff $80s a fair price for setup in a trail rig.

I got one of the kits from Right Channel Radios. Everything with shipping was around $136, so i'd say $80 was a fair price.

One of the guys in our 4X4 club is using a handheld CB by Cobra. He has an antenna connected to it and it seems to work great. I have been looking at one of those so when I go on a road trip in my DD I can take it with me.

Yesterday I stopped by the local truck stop and they had one for $59

Cb radios come in all shapes and sizes and deff price ranges. Cobra is going to be one of your most popular brands. Price all depends on what you want it for, if you just want something for a trail rig, a compact cheapo will do just fine. Price about $60-$80 with hardware. Or if your like me, and actually want the best ur looking for about $200-$400. Mine run about $325 total with a custom mount, custom coax cable(handmade), bluetooth cobra cb with a lapel mic and a K40 antenna. So $80 should be fine for you as long as it isnt beat to crap...

Free is always a good price, paid 30 for used Cobra LTD, end up a 2 for one deal when guy threw in another old off brand, my buddy still uses it. I usually get CB, parts, accessories, cables, antena at truck stop (5th Wheel co., along the hiway has lots of stock) and they have sales. Got the ZJ a Cobra DX19 for $50 new.
