Gauging interest in a 2008 Continuum Caliburn

I am not personally interested but have a few thoughts- you'll obviously need to get more info, like whether the Minus K was retrofitted- I use the big bench top externally on the Kuzma XL with Airline; how is demo/testing of operating condition going to be performed- are you going to do that or hire somebody you trust? cartridge for demo purposes? The easier you make it on the potential buyer, the more likely it can fetch a decent price as compared with "as is." That is a lot of work and will cost somebody time and money. There is also the option of consignment which may still involve shipping- not cheap these days, and the widow will take a hit financially, but the right dealer (not me- not a dealer) could do all that at their cost and market it, so it may take the widow to the same place in terms of net return. 

Or perhaps this post will generate interest and that's all you need. And what I've said above is simply some blithering insights into the obvious. 

PS: if there is any support for this front end that information would also likely prove useful. 

Good luck, sorry if it was a friend---

There's one for sale here for $69000. 

You might reach out to Kemela Contemporary Audio in Atlanta for advice. Or even to Continuum: info@continuumaudiolabs.com

As with everything, there will be an interest at the right price.  There have been at least two different Caliburns listed on this site for sale in the past 1 year, and neither have sold.  There's probably a reason for that:  technology may have moved on, making these more obsolete, since "everyone" wants an Air Force Zero these days; and more reasons to boot.  You will find a buyer, but it probably won't be at a price that you like. 

I believe I know who this widow is. Thank you for helping her with the table.

The best way to sell it would be to put it on the usual sites (including here) and be prepared to lower the price until it hits the market value, whereby it will sell. This sounds simplistic, but the value of anything is tied to what a qualified buyer will pay for it....not what someone else believes it is worth! ( similar to what drbond stated above..and which is great advice!)

Also, keep in mind that the table referenced above is for sale in the UK, which may have something to do with why it has not sold-- so far.( shipping costs, customs etc.,) ( or not??).

Realistically reach out to the resellers that are in business of shipping, testing, and restoring the device.  They also would have knowledge of the customer base that would be interested.  I would expect they would have to make an offer at a serious discount to cover the work and carrying cost of the item

Thanks to all who have replied.  The crux here is that I am going to be the one to do the set up, connection, testing and show the 'table in operation for any potential buyers.  This post is intended to gauge interest before I list the 'table for sale.  On the Audiogon platform.  Just getting it out of the flight cases and assembling it is a 2-3 person job and will likely take a day.  I will contact Continuum with the details to see if they can advise if the Minus K platform was ever fitted and ask if they can provide a set up manual.

A turntable that expensive by a small manufacturer that has been discontinued is a very hard sell. Hi Fi gear is a terrible investment. The more you spend the worse it gets. 

True enough. I’m happy that all my gear is vintage and appreciating in value.
