Hi Freek. It is good to see you posting over here again.
In the past few years average prices paid on working TD125 models have gone up. Especially over Ebay. On the street, just about anything is possible but even when we search our local Craigslist in NA we find that most sellers are hip to current values for vintage Thorens turntables. (note to self: Must dig deeper. Repeat. Must dig deeper.)

I was fortunate to buy a TD126-III in 2011 for $75.00. But this turntable came from the daughter of the deceased owner that did not care to invest any of her time in sorting out values and markets. She just assigned that task to me. And I've decided to keep it since the TD126-III stands up very well even in today's world of turntables.

Many things are possible. But Ebay is a mixed bag of good and bad, low prices and high prices, and anything in-between that can be thought of. A fully restored and minty looking TD125-II with a desirable tonearm and good condition dustcover will demand a surprising figure for us old timers that already had a fixed idea of the value--an out of date value. Times are changing.
