Rega Planet or Rega Apollo Value

[Quagh]

Can anyone give me fair market value for either of these Rega CDP's?

Original Rega Planet

Original Rega Apollo

Thanks, I HATE overpaying for stuff!

I have 2 Rega Apollo and paid $500 each and IMO they are worth every penny !

Looking at ebay completed listings is a good way. In general $250-300 ish for the original Planet (with the tray to the side) and perhaps $100 more for the Planet 2000, and maybe that much more again for the Apollo.

I got my original Planet for upper 2's and have been very happy too.

Yeah, the deal Ive found puts it right at 500. I paid 300 for the orig Planet (on the high side a tad) watching eBay some Apollos go for more than 500 for some reason. Then it's at least 1k and much more for a Saturn. Seeing how few there are for sale speaks well of them. To me it means people hold onto them which of course naturally means they sought after and hold their price well. Plus they're very well built!

I paid 400 for my Planet but it was new and I think I got a deal. It is a sweet CDP.

How long ago was that deal made? (just curious.)

Speaking of falling in love.......2nd day I had mine a friend heard it an had to have it. Hell I wish I was able to check out some others CRP's b/c for instnace I might be tempted to buy the Arcam CD17 for $500 on Bartertown. However there is really nowhere in Charlotte to demo one. I KNOW what the Rega sounds like and am impressed. I figure for the extra 150 why not go with a more recent model. Then of course one day I'll get a Saturn and on and on it goes.....

Had it since about 92 I guess.

So I guess the Planet 2000 came out around the same year? Then the Apollo was released.........?

Then the Saturn...........?

I've looked around their site but they don't really say.
