Why so many linn lp12s for sale

For my edification, what IS the cost of a new fully equipped LP12?

I went down the Linn rabbit hole. Now have a Kuzma Ref 2 and 4 point 9 tonearm. 

Coat me less than a Radikal LP12 and beats the Linn in absolutely every way. 

....and yes it “plays the tune”!

Thanks, Noromance.  I don't think the price is out of line in today's market where many TT prices do seem out of line, especially when you consider that the full up price includes tonearm, cartridge, and phono stage.  I just don't like spring suspended turntables, and I also prefer DD to belts.
