Nice lookin' deck. No idea what they usually go for, but I wouldn't mind having one. :drool:

Not mine, no affiliation.

Not a bad price, IMHO, depending on where he referred to name-etching is on the deck. When dialed in with a cartridge that likes a heavier arm, they are really great turntables.

Red flag - that picture appears to have been stolen from feebay:

Probably not a big deal. A lot of sellers are too lazy, or don't own a camera, and just lift pictures from the net. He stated in his listing that, "owner before me etched name below stencil for security". I'm guessing the stencil he's talking about is where it says empire 208. And I see no such mark on the 208 on the bay.
