It sounds like you're just now getting into vinyl--I'm not selling a player but just to help you out: Do you want an actual record player (my emphasis) or a turntable? In other words, you need to decide if you want a nice standalone system that will both spin & play the record with built in (and likely subpar) speakers, or a deck that you can hook up to your own sound system. If you just bought a few records for the collectability and well it's damn time you start actually listening to them, you probably just need a nice little standalone player--in that case look on Amazon.com or eBay, they have neat little boxes made up to look like old timey phonographs that don't go to near $100. If you want to really dive into audiophelia, a turntable is an investment--if you're going to claim the superior quality of wax, you need a speaker set & receiver worthy of it. In which case, I'd start with a semidecent table (spend at least $100 or you're wasting your time) and hook it up to at the very least a nice set of stereo speakers.
The odds of someone on here selling a player are pretty slim. Amazon marketplace & eBay are your friends, but keep that in mind because "record player" is really broad.
