JVC Turntable Value?

[2sixR]

came across a JVC QL-Y3F that appears to be in very good condition... seller says is in working order and offers a 7-day warranty on it... anyone know what a reasonable price to pay would be... thanks.

mmm, $100-150 or so. Those JVC tables are interesting. I'd like to try one sometime. Any cart included?

If it is in descent shape with a functional cart well worth $100, but offer $50. Or let them set a price. You never know just gotta try and read them.

yes, it does have a cartridge... don't know what shape it it in though... thanks all for the feedback, it really helps out a newb... fascinating how hot the TT market seems to be...

$100-150 is a good range, $50 is a joke though as if he`s offering a warranty, it`s not a giveaway. I have a QL-5YF and wouldn`t let it go for under $250-300.

JVC tables are very nice. And they look great too. I have very basic automatic JVC QL-A2 that I purchased from an original owner and I am not going to sell it, even I have more expensive tables.

I have had a QL-F4 for quite a while, and paid $20.00 for it with a great cart.

I happened to have gotten very lucky.

Your QL-Y3 is a step or 2 above my F4.

Sonically, my F4 surprised the krap out of me, it was really musical.

Recently got my hands on a QL-Y66F in challenged cosmetic condition, but perfect operational condition. I can tell you now, this is a keeper. Paid a bit more for this one.

Point is, you will pay what is appropriate considering condition, sonics and pedigree.

The JVC QL units are under the radar right now, and I see no reaqson why a Y3 should not sell for up to $300.00 in great condition.

Just my 2 cents . . .

Cheers

I have the QL-Y3F and I would expect it to fetch between $75 to $125.....any more than that and you'd have to find a buyer who just has to have one.
