So, I found a Pioneer CLD-990 at a record store near me, it's either new in box *or* open box w/ the remote and all the original packaging (with either no use, or very little use). It's been a while since I've been to the store, I forget if it's sealed in the box or not.
I know it's a pretty generic mid-grade player with nothing special going on - but I'm pondering if it's worth it when, with a little patience, I can find a used player of better build quality & video quality in good condition locally. Ideally I'll find something with two-sided playback (and with a remote), but the thought of a player in new condition is also pretty tempting.
I already have a Pioneer CLD-M403, but I'm not too content with it anymore. It's pretty beat-up (from taking a tumble a couple years back) and, because of said tumble, sometimes takes a few tries to get the disc to read. I'll definitely keep it as a backup player, though.
Here's a list of players I've found locally (via eBay and Facebook Marketplace) that I've been keeping an eye on, if anyone has a suggestion:
Pioneer CLD-S104 (w/ remote) Pioneer CLD-M90 (w/ remote) Pioneer CLD-M301 (w/ remote) Pioneer CLD-V2800 (cool industrial-style player) Pioneer CLD-1010 Pioneer CLD-D503 Pioneer CLD-V880 Pioneer CLD-V840 Panasonic LX-H170 Denon LA-200 Marantz LV510
(these are all in the range of $100-$200)

I'll have to go over the list again but I think some of them are double-sided players, which is always a bonus. That industrial style one I listed looks really cool, those ones tend to have lowers hours of usage since they seem to have primarily been used in limited amounts at places like schools.
