I know that this question is not dealing strictly with ham equipment, but would like to get other's opinion.
I have been offered an even trade of a Yaesu FT 101 EE that is functional and cosmetically pretty clean, for my Browning Eagle Mark III with a VFO that is fully functional and original other than the VFO. This is not including the Browning 180 that is also part of my collection. It's cosmetic condition (my Browning) on a scale of 1-10(10 being excellent) I would rate it at an 8 (normal wear).
I know that this may be a difficult question to all Ham operators being that the Browning is 11 meter only. I will admit that I know very little about Yaesu radios, but am familiar with the Browning's as I have been collecting them for years.
Honest unbiased opinions are greatly welcomed. Keep in mind that the Browning is used almost daily for communications and if traded, the Yeasu will take it's place for use on the 11 meter's.[/b]

Regardless of the preceived "worth" of either piece of equipment, you may not legally use the FT-101EE on the CB bands. It is not certified for CB service use. In effect, this make the FT-101EE worthless for your purpose. This is one reason not to trade. There in another. The Browing will appreciate in value as it gets older; the Yaesu will depreciate in value as it gets older.

Honestly...

That is what I wanted was an honest opinion. I would appreciate any other's that may have an opinion on same subject.
