I seel the laser trntables for 10,000 +. dang, that is alot of money for a trntable, But minimal wow and flutter, static and wear and tear makes this a real nice thing...Why are they so expensive??? the technology shold be to the point where they are nder a grand. I assume there are patent isses preventing others from selling these?

As far as the action goes, I will bid under 1000, no more. I think it would be worth it to me but don't have the time (or patience) to look up all the records on his listing (her listing?) and see if they are really worth it as far as collectibles...

No offense to yor post but I disagree with the only being worth it if all my equipment is audiophile grade, we all have to start somewhere and this would help prevent more wear of the LPs.

Thanks,

Firstly - Yes and no. If you listen to LPs CONSTANTLY and have the money to burn, then yes. They certainly sound very good, being audiophile equipment, and obviously if you're playing a LOT of records, its a good way to safeguard the investment. You'll have to make this decision on your own I'm afraid. If your system isn't already audiophile quality throughout, I wouldn't reccomend it.

Second - The great thing about Ebay is that you can bid without worrying what the reserve is. If it turns out you haven't bid high enough, then you're not exactly out of pocket are you? If anyone is, the seller is. Bid to the level YOU deem the record to be worth, and not a PENNY more. You don't want to get involved in a bidding war, you want a fair price, Ebay makes that easy.
