Sony TC-WR500

Sold or Listed Prices

5 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.

Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $13 and $14. The full range is tight — lowest to highest is only 1.8×, which suggests these units trade in a well-established band and condition moves price less than it does for many models.

What buyers should know

These need the most scrutiny of any category. Ask about head wear, whether the pinch roller and belts have been replaced, and whether the deck has been aligned and calibrated recently. Service parts are increasingly scarce and specialist labour is expensive.

This range reflects 5 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
