How much should I offer for these TT's?

[SolDios]

Stanton T150's, less than a year old, hardly used, new cartridges and needles just installed.

A friends mate is selling them

I was thinking along the lines of $600 - $650 for the pair? what do you think?

(He told me to make him an offer)

[ill_spector]

tree fiddy

yeh i guess try 600? also find conditon of needles carts, as they may need to be replaced etc

[Gandy]

he has a pair of beats, you could offer him whatever you want obviously not a very smart person

[russell]

sol i cant see pic so dont know if he upgraded the cartridge and needle to something better, because if not why would he need a new one after a year? let me know what he put on their and i can tell you if upgrade (the ones they stock with are actually very good).

secondly, and this is just my opinion and my strategy for all 2nd hand things. basically to me the minute something is brought out the store and opened, its only worth half the price or at best (and i mean it has to be mint, i.e. unboxed but used once or twice) i may pay 70%.

so if im not mistaken they are $650 brand new thise days. so the range i'd work with would be $650 - $910. but $910 sounds like heaps!!!! again unless they are absolute mint not worth that.

so yeah low ball at $600 and then maybe get pushed to $700

[LabRat]

I'd buy them brand new for that price to be honest. I'd offer 400 but that's just me. A good set of carts will probably set you back 200+

If I tried to sell my 150s at even 500 I'd be struggling

[eggssell]

I'd buy them brand new for that price to be honest.

how could you buy a brand new pair of ST150's for $650? even at the sales it would be say 2 x $600 so thats $1,200.

[anditz]

He's saying that he'd rather pay extra and buy brandnew rather than buy second hand at that price

[eggssell]

i get that, but thats what i mean we aint talking paying $1,000 versus new at $1,200.

we saying $650 to $1,200, thats another $550 (45% of total price). prob another year of saving for some. but yeah i guess for some another 45% may not be much, so each to their own.

i guess i shouldve said "how could you buy a brand new pair of ST150's for CLOSE TO $650? "

[SolDios]

So il offer him 500 and go up to 600 I think Fair deal!

[OxyKon]

yeah bro i reckon go for $500, being 2nd hand and barley used is pretty good, a friend of mine has a pair, its a very nice TT, and if i remember correctly heavy as fuck too

[ruggs]

They are super heavy but still got turnies just sold mine

Not dissing you bro, but wouldn't you be better off mastering beat matching, phrasing and general mixing on CDJ's first before you rush out and spend all this money on TT's. I'm not having a go at you I've seen you mix and seen how easily you were confusing yourself on CDJ's, don't want you to go waste your money. Vinyl mixing is a whole new ball game compared to CD's
