Not familiar with Popmarket, are they a reputable seller? Looks like there some other tables on closeout with a pretty good markdown too. If someone has a strong recommendation out of these for a good starter turntable, I'd be interested in your input.
Other options (prices before coupon):

Btw...vwestlife (or something like that) on YouTube did a test trying to prove how much downforce would damage a record. It was an insane amount.

I had bought this same turntable a month ago for $130 from the Focus Camera deal. Only one side of the RCA out would play on my stereo so I had to return it. Couldn't find it cheaper than $160 until OP posted this deal.
Hopefully I'll get a unit that's in good working order this time. For $90 after tax, it's a no-brainer.
BTW, the sound from the one side was excellent. The turntable has a very good stylus included and is upgradable if you want to buy a better one at some point. Lots of great reviews on the AT-LP3BK if you don't need Bluetooth but want fully automatic start/stop with built in pre-amp, etc. Honestly don't think you can get a better TT at this price or maybe even the $130 I had originally paid.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought an LP60BKBT from Amazon for $179, then found the LP3BK for $169 and ordered it. Both of those are going back once I get this one and get it set up. I decided I really wouldn't use the Bluetooth feature.

LP3 is in between the LP60 and LP120
You have to adjust the tonearm, and counterweight, meaning it takes more time to set up vs the 60 which is pretty much a 'plug and play'. but the LP3 has a removeable cartridge allowing for more upgrades down the road.
