Look again. There's no BIN. Auction only.

The GL85 TT is just incidental to all this and not worth much 'cos it's horrible (I've actually seen a few of them with buckled platters for some reason).

Quite. I find it interesting how stuff like this can actually end up selling for more when the buyers think the seller doesn't know what they have... If you know what I mean ?

I've sold stuff in the past listing out in great detail exactly what it is & what needs doing to it to get it back to rights etc only for the buyer to return it saying its crap so I relist but change the description to a simple one saying "heres a piece of junk I found in a garage" & it sells for twice the original price & the buyer is over the moon :scratch:

Then you get people trying it on...

But Technics are the best innit ? Not sure how so many of a certain age came to that conclusion but I've heard it many, many times. They didn't do marketing like Bose so what gives ? Is it all thanks to the SL1200 :scratch:

I presume that he based his pricing on this completed ebay sale

More fool him for using a dealer price for reference... Never mind the fact those were in better condition and had a worldwide shipping option. IMO his best shot at getting a decent price would be start at 99p.
