Thorens TD 280 MKIII fair price?

[mr.jones]

What is a fair price for a Thorens TD 280 MKIII turntable, This deck looks like it just came out of the box and is fitted with a Stanton 500 cart.

I know this is not one of the great Thorens decks but from what I have read it is not the bottom of the barrel.Not a lot of these out there and the only sales I could find were European eBay transactions.

Thanks.

Yo, man, I don't know if this has become a moot point with you, or not, but I just was given an original TD 280 with a Signet cartridge the needed some work. I just put it together, turned it on, and was blown away. If the price is reasonable, and this model sounds anything like mine, grab it. I have a Thorens TD 165, a larger, more substantial deck, and a more expensive one, but the 280 is definitely close, if not better, soundwise. It looks kind of cheesy, but don't let the looks fool you, the TD 280 is a great deck. Of course, the cart is essential, and the Signet I have is very well-regarded.
