Sell my Turntables — Free UK collection.
UK specialist buyer of turntables — decks & record players. Working, faulty or for parts. Free insured collection across the UK, paid on exchange.
In short: Sell My Tech buys turntables and record players across the UK — direct-drive DJ decks, belt-drive audiophile tables from the likes of Rega, Pro-Ject, Thorens and Linn, and older idler and belt-drive decks. The deck is half the story, so we factor in the cartridge, tonearm, plinth and any service history when we price it. Boxed with the original lid and the right headshell sits at the top. Free insured collection, paid on exchange. Years in the hi-fi trade.
Sell your Turntables in four steps
Four steps. From the details to payment, with free insured collection across the UK.
Tell us the deck
Make and model (e.g. Rega Planar 3, Technics SL-1210, Pro-Ject Debut), the fitted cartridge and tonearm, condition, whether it's boxed, and your postcode.
Get your offer
We price against the live used hi-fi market. Motor type, the cartridge and tonearm, cosmetic condition and any service history all feed the figure.
Accept & book collection
Choose a slot that suits you, home or office. Collection is free and fully insured, so a heavy plinth or a delicate vintage deck never goes near a courier counter.
Get paid on exchange
We check the deck spins true, the arm tracks and it matches your description, then pay you straight away by bank transfer. No waiting for a marketplace sale.
Start your quote in seconds
Tell us your model and condition — we’ll come back fast with a clear offer.
Tell us the make, model and condition of your Turntables — and what's included. It speeds up an accurate quote.
What you get when a specialist does the buying
No marketplace risk, no posting heavy kit, no lowball trade-in. A buyer who knows what your gear is really worth.
Faster Payment by bank transfer the moment we've checked the deck over. No staged payouts and no marketplace fees eating into your figure.
A turntable is the worst thing to post: heavy platters, sprung subchassis and an arm that hates a knock. We collect it in person, fully insured.
The cartridge, tonearm and any aftermarket upgrades can carry real value of their own. We price them in rather than quoting the bare chassis.
Every quote is benchmarked against current eBay-sold, Audio Trader and HifiShark figures for the same model and trim. Current numbers, not a token trade-in.
Direct-drive club decks, belt-drive audiophile tables and older idler-wheel players. Three different markets, and we know what each one fetches.
Real responses, not bots. We can tell a re-tipped MM from a tired stylus and a genuine lid from a generic one, so the quote reflects the real deck.
Indicative Turntables buy-back prices
Typical UK pay-the-seller ranges by deck type and condition. A turntable's figure swings on the make and model, the motor type, the cartridge and tonearm fitted, and what's boxed. Treat these as starting points; your exact quote depends on the deck.
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| Entry belt-drive (Pro-Ject Debut, Rega Planar 1, Audio-Technica) Popular starter audiophile decks. Boxed with a healthy stylus sits at the top. | £60 – £180 |
| Mid belt-drive (Rega Planar 2/3, Pro-Ject Carbon/X-range) Steady demand. A good cartridge and clean cosmetics lift the figure. | £180 – £450 |
| Direct-drive DJ decks (incl. Technics SL-1200/1210 — see Technics page) Single-deck guide. Technics priced model-by-model on our Sell My Technics page. | £200 – £500 |
| Higher-end belt-drive (Rega Planar 6/8, Thorens TD-series, Clearaudio) Cartridge, arm and any upgrades drive it. Boxed and serviced best. | £350 – £900 |
| Linn LP12 (spec-dependent) Entirely spec-led — tonearm, cartridge, power supply and Linn upgrade history. | £500 – £2,000 |
| Vintage idler & belt decks (Garrard, Lenco, classic Japanese) Condition and a working arm led. Sought-after models sit well above this. | £40 – £350 |
| Loose cartridges, tonearms & phono stages Priced on the specific part. MC cartridges with stylus life and rare arms most. | £20 – £400 |

Part of our hi-fi buy-back · UK-wide collection
Technics & direct-drive decks
The SL-1200 and SL-1210 family and other direct-drive club decks. Strong, steady demand. For Technics in particular, see our dedicated Sell My Technics page for model-by-model figures.
Rega, Pro-Ject & Thorens
Belt-drive audiophile tables hold value well. Rega Planar, Pro-Ject Debut and Carbon, Thorens classics and similar. Tell us the fitted cartridge and arm and we'll price the package.
Linn LP12 & upgraded decks
Linn Sondek LP12 and other upgradeable high-end decks where the spec is everything. Tell us the tonearm, cartridge, power supply and any Linn upgrade history for an accurate figure.
Vintage idler & belt decks
Older idler-wheel and belt-drive players from the classic era. Garrard, Lenco, vintage Japanese decks and period record players. Condition and a working arm drive the figure.
Not spinning or arm faults
Dead motor, worn bearing, a tonearm that won't track, missing lid or a seized speed change. We buy decks for repair and parts. Tell us what's wrong and we'll still quote.
Cartridges, arms & phono stages
Loose moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges, separate tonearms and phono stages, even without a deck attached. List what you have and we'll price the lot.

Sold my Technics SL1210s
Sold my Technics SL1210s. The whole process was really straightforward. I sent the details through the website and got a fair quote back pretty quickly. Once I accepted, they arranged collection for the same day in Leeds. Communication was good throughout and payment was made straight after the unit was collected and checked. Really smooth experience overall and I'd happily recommend them.
