Tax Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Could members who have experience with the SME3009/2 please give me some advice as to what the current market value for one of these tonearms is? I have seen them from $800 to $1200 USD on the bay. Thanks
t_mike Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Look for completed listings on ebay that have sold. On the local market a typical price for a nice unmodified complete unit is about $700-$900, dependant on condition. Having all the original packing and accessories will increase the value. Having a modified one with brass knife edge bearing could send the price either way depending on what the end user is looking for. Some of the asking prices are getting a bit wild at the moment, I think people are trying to ride the analogue wave. Disregard prices from Japan in general, they're dreaming.
