This person, who I'm doing some repair work for, has a Technics direct drive semi-automatic model SL-3200 turntable from the late '70's. He said he paid around $180 for it when it was new. He expressed interest in selling it and when I asked how much, he said, "the internet says it's worth $150". My reply was, "You can't always go by what you see on the internet". I followed that up with, "Something's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it". Seriously, I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying more because I'm sick and tired of these people who think the internet is the ultimate price guide. It seems like they always see the most insane ASKING price for an item and, all of a sudden, their junk becomes valuable.
So, are we in agreement that $150 is nuts for this model or am I being too cheap? From what I've seen, the only Technics TT's that are worth this much, or more, are the SL-1200 DJ turntables and the SP series broadcast turntables.
