Hi everyone,
I just came across this turntable Thorens TD 125 with plinch and SME 3012 tonarm (no cartrige). seems in good working order. the owner asked 400 usd for it.
is this a good price for the Thorens? if not which should be a fair one?
any early reply is much appreciated.

I also wonder how much it would be worth.
The Thorens - about nothing; the SME 1-1k5 depending on condition.

but do you mean that the Thorens TD 125 is not worth?
The tt with no arm may be worth about $250-350, similarly to a bare LP12, no arm, no Valhalla. It is still a very nice tt.
SME is not a manufacturer of cartridges. Actually, there are many cartridges you can choose from today from various manufacturers such as Denon, Ortofon, Shure, Audio Technica and many more... it's a whole 'nuther adventure!
Do a google search for "phono cartridge" or "stylus". I'm sure you'll even get some recommendations here.

That is really nice and excellent price too. I've seen people asking $800 to $1500 on Audiogon. I've got a Thorens TD125 with a Rabco SL-8E and I really like it. What does long base mean? I see the plinth is very different from mine. Looks more solid and thats good since the a plinth like I've got could definitely be more solid.
