Newbie question - equipment with good resale value

Hi,
What are some brands and models that have a liquid market in them?
I have a system (a cdp, integrated and two speakers) that I am somewhat happy with. At the same time, I would like to try turntables and tube amps. However, I don't want to make large investments. Rather, I would like to buy used equipment and sell it if I don't like it. Yes, I made some trips to the local audio stores but they have limited number of choices, they are are all expensive and are all similar to each other.
What are some brands of turn tables, integrated or separate tube amps that you would recommend I can buy and try without loosing too much in the transaction?

Regards,
katie617

The Audiogon Blue Book values may only be good for a short time as certain brands and models fall in and out of popularity.

If you are going to play the game you have to play it good if you don't want to lose money.

There are certain makes and models you can't go wrong with. They have maintained the same price or higher for many years. To list all of these would be very difficult and it depends on the price range you would be buying in.

Drop me an email with the type of equipment and the price range you would be buying in and I will tell you what I know.
