The LP12 was designed with European floors in mind, let's say, sturdy. If you have soft, or bouncy floors, then a wall mount will bring out its best. Depending on condition and "upgrades" that's a fair market price. I would still try to talk the price down a little. The design is older than the Linn branding, it's kinda the Chevy small block engine of the hi-fi world; a lot of parts and mods to keep it going for a very long time.
