Experiences buying used cartridges

Most of my best cartridges are used, vintage HQ thirty or more years old. 
The best I have heard are from the 80´s, one is modern (MC). One costed me 150 dollars + postage. I will never buy new $2000 cart.

I bought 3 HQ MM carts from V. Simakov of grgaudio, very happy with all.

You can buy an original Uriah Heep UK Vertigo LP or UK Castle reissue. Your money your choice.

^ Congrats. It´s the famous Strain Gauge cartridge. Your last cart probably ?

^ I know what you mean. Felt exactly the same when I first heard a Reso-Mat, a turntable mat that is not a mat at all. Actually it´s the antithesis of : )
