Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on
I should have mentioned thus before, my floor is concrete, not wooden. So anyway I don't have footfall issues. 
Any idea what Dynaudio Contour 1.3se are worth?
Yes, $1700 - $1800 is a good price to expect.One of the best Dynaudio bookshelves with old Dynaudio values.

Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on
Wall mount is not an option for me because currently I am not in my native country and live in a rented place. I will be here for couple of years so I am looking for a rather effective solution. 
EAR 324 vs Einstein The Turntable Choice
I went through a very similar situation and ended up getting the RCM Sensor Prelude. It has the earthy 3-dimensional sound that people associate with great tube designs, the cleanliness of Einstein and rhythmic prowess of a Naim. It is a superb pr...

Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
