Wanted roksan nima tonearm

[Bigbird]

Hi all,
As per the title im looking for a used Nima for my lp12.
Iv found some new ones for a shade under 500 quid as im vat exempt now ive moved to oz, but thats a bit out of my reach so was hoping to snag one cheaper in the used market .
Happy to pay for a decent courier to get it here or if you don't fancy that then I can get it shipped to a family member back home in UK then on from there.
Thanks
Karl

Still looking, turns out the ebay one had no cables and the pivot cup was opaque,whilst the head shell was clear so maybe been broken and replaced at some point but owner didn't know how. dodged a bullet there I think.

I think it was just an earlier model: Roksan updated the arm without giving it an official "mk2" designation.

I don't think there's much to go wrong with these things, so I wouldn't worry about the bay.

Ok thanks thats good to know.yes it was a mk1 version from 2008. he said he was the second owner and he thought the cup was added from a newer arm as it was frosted and not clear. and the cup had some marks aswell. no cable was the nail in the coffin really for me as it went for over 300 quid, woulda been closer to 4 with cable. the search continues
