Advice please on Linn LP12..

[sheehanjuk]

Hi, Ive been asked to enquiy how much a 'good-conditioned' Linn LP12 would fetch roughly plus where would be the best place to sell said item?

Any advice appreciated.

Depends on which version / year / arm / upgrades / any other variation thereof. In theory, you could get anything from £350 to £000s as a consequence. The first models came out around 1972, so you need to be a little more specific (sorry!).

It depends very much on age and what modifications it has had in terms of Linn's endless string of improvements.

My 1980 vintage with LVII just sold for £720 or so on ebay. There were a few of similar age and spec at around the £700 mark, newer ones or those with an Asaka are fetching over a grand on flea bay. Easy to find them just go and watch a few sell to get an idea of the market value (which is very high at the moment for some odd reason), considering that I only piad £400 for it 3 years ago, and spent about £200 on a service and new cartridge.....

thanks for all the advice plus sorry i didnt colate enough info to enable a clearer answer.

even for £750 i will suggest to keep it, for me theyre 'hifi art' and lovely vinyl players.
