The MFJ-986 is MFJ's big 3-kilowatt roller-inductor antenna tuner -- the heavy-duty box for high-power HF stations running amplifiers. Eight recent sales put fair value around $271, ranging from $128.50 for rough ones to $376.32 for clean examples. A real bargain clears under about $203. Run the roller inductor through its full travel before buying -- a dead spot means a burned winding, and that's the expensive part of the tuner.
