people sure pay a lot of money for decks... 1300 is a lot of money for second hand stuff imho.

agreed, you pay around 3-400 euro per 1210 in Denmark (used). So unless you're really after that mixer and the custom box, I would wait for a better offer.

unfortunately second hand prices in Switzerland are higher than the rest of Europe. just yesterday i went to go and check out a pair of SL-1200 Mk2's that some dude wanted to sell for 700 Euro. they were really dirty and looking at the serial numbers, were manufactured in 1995. no cartridges either.

the Mk5's (Stanton needles mounted on Technic's carts incl.) above were bought a few years ago and are in a like new condition. i'm going to need a mixer as well so i'm really tempted to go for it.

mk2's yes.. but his offer includes mk5's.. if you have mk5's in denmark for 300euro i'd spend all my money to get as much as possible.. would be the best investment of my life

Ah, the MK5 is the one with +16 pitch, correct? In that case, yes, reasonable price (although the Mk5G would be even better)
