What's it worth?

Actually two questions here.

I have to downsize some of my collection as age is catching up and a move to smaller dwelling is in the near future.
I have 2 turntables and think I will keep the SL1200MKll. As much as I hate the thought I may have to give up my beautiful Luxman PD 121. It has an SME 3009 TA with a Denon DL103 MC cartridge and Denon AU 320 dual pick up matching transformer. Pretty sure I still have the original owners manual for it. I have owned it since new and very rarely ever use it. I have no idea what this set up might be worth today in near perfect condition.

The second question is the one that scares me the most. I don't think I would even attempt to pack and ship this nice table so it would have to be a Pick Up only sale and I live in the mountains about 90 miles from NYC.

A few years back I sold one of my Sansui G-9000 receivers and packed it like it was going to Mars. The shipper drove the fork of the fork lift right through it and then fought me over the insured value. I won't do it again.

Thanks for any input here.

Yes, I still have the Luxman but still have not determined it's value. I am open to offers but I refuse to ship it so it would have to be picked up here or near where I live. Tri States where NY, NJ and PA touch, Port Jervis, Middletown or Monticello NY area.

A search of completed Ebay sales and Hifi Shark transactions give you a range. of sold values. Factor in the limitation of created by local pick up and you should get a reasonable value established.

Thanks NK, I have a number in mind for all the stuff and based on sales I can find. I do agree taking the refusal to ship detracts from the value.

PD121, all original with plastic dust cover and a protective cloth cover from Digital Deck Covers and original owners manual.

Sure, SME 3009 TA

Denon AU-320 Dual pick up step-up unit.

Head shell with a lightly used Denon DL 103 plus a new DL 103 cartridge in the box and there are some other alignment gauges for setting them up.

It all works fine and all the lights work and the platter holds speed but I would suspect after 45+ years the monofilament line for the TA anti skate could be a bit stiff but a very simple fix if even necessary.

I am not familiar with the rules here as far as offering items for sale because I have pretty much dropped out of this world and have not spun an album in a number of years.
