Going to be selling my turnatble

I would like to sell my Music Hall MMF-5.1 turntable but I have no idea what these tables are worth on the used market. I'm not yet sure on which cartridge will be included, it could be my Ortofon 2M Bronze or Audio Technica AT33PG/II. I also have the acrylic platter as well as the original alloy one. I was just wondering what is the current value of these. Is the price range of $400 - $500 reasonable? I have original box and packing. I checked completed auction on Ebay but didn't see any 5.1 tables.

Thanks

 

That price seems reasonable. Local sale for a turntable is the best way to go. Try the SH classifieds.

Used turntables that are from fairly recent years seem to go for somewhere around half the original price to half the current price. If something had a common street price well below MSRP its resale value is probably affected by that. The MMF-5.1 is currently available at a 20% discount at a retailer online, so you’d be competing with that. Models that come with a cartridge that represents a large part of its value might go lower than half, because an old stylus could be assumed to have little or no value. If I were shopping for this turntable, I’d give value to the acrylic platter only if I actually wanted it or could resell it.

 

Check out the Sold tab over at HifiShark for that model:

Prices vary pretty widely — they generally seem to go for around $350-550 depending on condition and what cartridge they come with, etc. Good luck!

 

Thanks guys. Much appreciated!

 

If you price it at 50% of the MSRP, that is usually the market value for used gear.
