*MINT CONDITION, UNOPENED, NEVER USED*Reverb won’t let me list as *mint* and I cannot sell as new since I’m not an official dealer.
At US$350, this sits right on the median of your recent comps and below the 75th percentile of US$399, so it reads as fair market rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It’s not cheap enough to call a steal, but it also isn’t padded beyond the market for this model.
That makes it a sensible buy if the deck is clean and fully functional, because this model is well-liked for its straightforward setup, built-in phono stage, and USB output for easy archiving. The upside is strongest if it includes the dust cover, counterweight, headshell/cart, and original accessories, since those add real value and save hassle.

Founded in 1962 in Tokyo's Shinjuku district by Hideo Matsushita, Audio-Technica began as a phonograph cartridge specialist, launching the innovative AT-1 moving-magnet model with a diamond-tipped cantilever that revolutionized affordable high-fidelity playback. Starting with just three employees in a rented house and one million yen in capital, the company quickly expanded, supplying cartridges to Japanese audio manufacturers and relocating as demand surged. This heritage of precision engineering and democratic access to superior sound defines its enduring Japanese craftsmanship.
Audio-Technica has broadened far beyond cartridges into a comprehensive lineup of hi-fi essentials, excelling in headphones, professional microphones, turntables, and phonographic styli. While not heavily focused on amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, it produces elite receivers, wireless systems, and cables, alongside OEM transducers and sensors for pro audio. Its turntables and headphones span entry-level to audiophile grades, with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling models bridging consumer and studio needs.
Renowned for delivering exceptional value through durable, innovative design, Audio-Technica occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliability without extravagant pricing. It garners consistent awards for performance and builds trust via Olympic-grade microphones and global subsidiaries, appealing to discerning buyers seeking proven engineering over boutique exclusivity.
