Price trend
22 months of data shown — Listing Comps build richer history as transactions accumulate.
Sold or Listed Prices
26 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.
Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $425 and $599. The full range runs 3.0× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.
What buyers should know
Ask what state the bearing and belt are in and whether the plinth has been modified. Establish whether the price includes a cartridge and tonearm, since these can represent most of the value. Turntables require careful packing — the platter and counterweight should always ship separately.
This range reflects 26 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
