These two FT-818's were purchased early last year just before my wife and I decided to stop snow-birding between Minnesota and Arizona. Now that I live in one home, I don't need four of the same radios.

I am the original owner and have used this setup only three or four times. Although they have been rarely used, the Lithium-Ion batteries have been kept charged regularly. They have never traveled or used in the field. Not so much as a scuff mark on anything. Smoke-free, of course.
The setup includes all the original everything in the original boxes, plus the Portable Zero rack (originally $95) and two Valley Enterprises RPC-Y857-UF FTDI/USB CAT control cables ($45). I made an extra two-headed charging cable to charge both radios together. (The original power cables were not used for this deluxe homebrew accessory.)
With 8% sales tax, this station would cost around $1,500 (even if you could find the radios today). Sale price is $1,000 firm and includes double boxed shipping to the lower 48. PayPal is fine. Personal check after cleared is good, too. Local pick up in Tucson take $50 off. No returns.
Equipment thoroughly photographed at www.n1uw.net.
