Longtime lurker here. This is not my Ebay listing.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRESTO-6N-RECORD-CUTTING-SYSTEM-/291401731753?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d8e58ea9

They're asking 5.5K for this package. Any thoughts on that price tag?

Description:
"This Is a PRESTO 6N RECORD CUTTING SYSTEM 45 and 33 1/3 RPM, with Presto 15 ohm 1D Cutter Head, Custom build pre-amp with RIAA CURVE and MARANTZ 150 Watt power Drive Amp, with Stylus Heat and Vacuum System."

It's Deroy from FL selling it.

He refurbs, repairs, and resells them as complete units with everything. It's not cheap, but if you want a turnkey unit, guaranteed and ready to run, this is a rare opportunity. He's a good dude.

as others have said, most of the units that come up are untested, and sold by sellers that are just looking to cash in.
this is a ready to cut unit, from a trusted seller, hence the price tag.

I will also vouch for Deroy. I've purchased a few things from him. Always as advertised. And, typically obscure.
