The IC-7100 has HF through VHF & UHF with D-Star (Monochrome display), it's a current model and came with the Icom 5 year warranty. The IC-7100 doesn't have D-Star (But has a colour display). It also has HF through VHF & UHF. It went out of production in 2014. The IC-7100 was introduced as a replacement for the IC-7000 in 2012, 2 years ahead of the IC-7000 production ceasing. I've for years held an opinion that second hand near new, in as new condition, equipment holds the value of 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of a new similar replacement. Ok, based on that, in 2017, in an as new condition IC-7000 would have been worth $850 to $1300. So here we are some 7 years post production ending of the IC-7000. The 7000 is unlikely to look new. Sadly the firmware doesn't record Tx & Rx time figures. Better still Supply voltage, VSWR etc. It does have a colour display, but lacks D-Star.  Realisticly, it's worth what someone would pay for it. Myself I'd think it's value would fall in the range of $450 to $650 depending on condition.
