The Paragon is a fine rig, but given the complexity of the Paragon,
if it has been subjected to a lot of smoke, I wouldn't rate it 
as worth more than about $ 50-75. This is not a reflection on the 
radio, its just that smoke gets into everything and the cost/effort
to clean it up might be extensive, even if you have access to
sophisticated solvents or  a vapor degreaser. There are plenty
of clean Paragons for sale on this reflector. Stay away from 
heavy smokers' rigs unless you are getting a very good price.
Just my opinion.
