Used turntable market

I purchased my Origin Live table on AGon and had it shipped. The factory box is a very well constructed wood crate instead of a carboard box. It arrived without damage. The table was in fabulous condition, unidentifiable from brand new. So my experience was postive in the best way.

I purchased a used Nott. Hyperspace on Audiogon several years ago and it has served me very well.

I've purchased five used TT's, three of which were shipped to me by the sellers. Of the three that were shipped, two arrived in perfect condition and one was slightly damaged. The other two TT's were local pickups.

I only purchase used tables locally...shipping is too precarious for me...that being said...I have purchased NEW tables via parcel post...but they are packaged correctly, have return options, and warranties...hope this helps

My worst luck for used components have been turntables, by far.
