I wanted the option of a return to owning a turntable for just occasional use earlier in the year, and not wishing to pay a fortune plumped for a Rega P3 off another forums classifieds. Absolutely mint condition, complete with original box, accessories, and barely used Bias cart - £200 all incl. More than good enough for my needs. Only problem was that I foolishly damaged the stylus very early on so had to buy a replacement which I was considering anyway as I didn't think the Bias was all that TBH.
At that price range either a 2nd hand Rega or Pro-Ject will fit the bill nicely, and you will always be able to move it on if need be with minimal loss if any at all.
