Human value??? Another way to look at selling a turntable is finding someone who will love having it.
Instead of just who has the most money to throw away at it.
Not saying anyone has to, just it is a different way of handling an audio transaction.
I love finding a person who will really enjoy what i have for sale. Way more than just getting the most dollars from some dolt.
I sold my Denon Dp-59L (with a Shure V15 type five mr)for way less than it could have brought in a bidding war, but then i know it is in a great home, loved by the person who bought it.
Ditto my last amp. i just ran into someone who would love it as much as i had.
On the other hand i have sold stuff to strangers...
