Why so many linn lp12s for sale

I had an LP-12, Ekos, Arkiv - FET-10 Hi & PC + Mac MC-30’s and M&K Sat./Sub between 1990 and 2010 and I loved it!
All was lost in 2012 after years of unemployment, and my system had to be sacrificed.
Now, I am back to square one, with an AR XB on an XA base w. M97Xe playing through Schiit bits and an Adcom 545II into M&K S1-B’s & a Volkswoofer gifted by an old friend and I am just fine!
I live on a busy street in Santa Barbara with heavy commercial traffic, so my ’real’ listening comes mainly at night, and at very moderate sound levels. This fits the bill for my SS Retirement Income. :-)

Now that I have listened to the Technics / Triplanar rig for 5-6 weeks; I like it even more. Does it mean that My LP12 doesn’t sound good? No, it sounds different and still pleases in different ways.

Will the new Technics put every other TT in the attic, basement or used market? Absolutely Not. Every TT at every price point is still valid. They will all provide the pleasure of vinyl.

At this point in time for Me; the Linn being a sprung TT has become untenable. I will keep my Kuzma belt drive and enjoy its qualities. Better? No just different, as they all are.

 I notice more TTs on the used market. Great deals to be had, whether your first, 2nd or 3rd.

What is it about a suspended chassis that disturbs you so much?
Since my floor is not built on solid granite bedrock, I could never consider a non-suspended table. It would be unusable!
