Used Denon vinyl and CDs typically sell for $23 to $464 (about £17 to £345) depending on the record and its condition. Records are graded, and the grading conventions matter more than the brand or the label. Buyers in this category are experienced, they know exactly what they are looking for, and a listing that describes the sleeve and the vinyl separately will always outperform one that does not.

Pressings, formats and grading on Denon vinyl and CDs
Denon’s turntables came out of a professional broadcast tradition, and the name is better known among record collectors for its moving-coil cartridges than for the decks themselves. A cartridge is a consumable with a finite stylus life, and it is often worth more than the arm carrying it.
- Turntables are where the money is, valued on the arm, the drive type and whichever cartridge is fitted
- Record players with built-in amplification sell to a different buyer entirely, who wants one box rather than a system
- Cassette players move slowly and turn on whether the belts have been replaced and the heads are clean
What to check before you buy
Say which cartridge is fitted and roughly how many hours are on the stylus. A stylus is a wearing part that damages records once it is past its life, so a vague answer here costs you serious buyers immediately.
For the checks that apply to any used vinyl and CDs regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used vinyl and CDs.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $244 Denon record, a marketplace charging 20% takes $49, one charging 13.6% takes $33 and one charging 10% takes $24. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $244.
Listing your Denon vinyl and CDs
- Photograph the front and back sleeve, the labels on both sides, the runout and the vinyl held at an angle to the light
- Say whether you have played it through. A seller who has listened to the record and describes what they heard is worth far more to a buyer than a grade alone

Questions
How long does a turntable stylus last?
Manufacturers typically quote several hundred to around a thousand hours depending on the type, after which it should be replaced because a worn stylus damages the record groove. Give your best honest estimate of hours played rather than describing it as little used.
Is the cartridge included in a used turntable sale?
It should be stated either way, because it is a significant part of the value and it is frequently kept back by the seller. Say whether one is fitted, which model it is, and whether the stylus guard and any original packaging are with it.
