Used turntable market

I have been monitoring the turntable classify on Audiogon and it seems very few actually get sold. Are people afraid of buying used tables? What are the real risks? What are your experiences in buying used turntables and cartridges without actually demoing the unit?

Thanks

I purchased a used VPI Classic 3. The seller was a dealer. He set-up the cart. It arrived in perfect condition.

I also sold a Thorens. I used the original packing material, removed the platter and used a tie to secure the tone arm for shipping. The purchaser said it arrived in excellent condition.
