This product was very popular when produced by Phoenix Engineering before they went out of business and seems to be even more popular after. My question is why hasn't some other manufacturer made something similar? The demand seems to be there.
Peter, though Roadrunners were going for as much as $400 after it was discontinued, it originally retailed for $234 (it was the Falcon and Eagle that sold for more). Your $299 is quite reasonable.
The Road Runner is going back into production, in a deal struck between Phoenix Engineering designer/owner Bill Carlin and SOTA Industries. However, it may be a dedicated SOTA turntable-only product.
