Used record players in Dundee typically sell for £40 to £220 (about $54 to $295). Record players sell on whether the stylus is usable and the speed is accurate, and buyers assume neither works until you say otherwise.
Selling a record player in Dundee
Dundee was built on jute, jam and journalism and has reinvented itself around a design museum on the waterfront, two universities and a video games industry that started here and remains significant. The waterfront redevelopment has changed the city entirely.
Two universities clear student housing each June, and the games and design sector moves people on project cycles. Home-office and computing equipment turns over faster here than the city’s size would suggest.
The waterfront and the city square are the landmarks everyone uses and the centre is compact. The city climbs steeply away from the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy.
Dundee, in Scotland, has around 148,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Getting it ready

Fragile. Secure or remove the platter and the counterweight before posting, and protect the tonearm and stylus separately — those are what arrive broken.
