You will encounter a fair amount of grief for using one of the OEM Direct Drive DJ turntables. The turntables are primarily sourced from a Far East manufacturer, Hanpin. I was using a Stanton ST 150 turntable for the last few years and if you reference that turntable, you will see that it is almost identical to the AT LP240.

I very much like direct drive turntables and these tables are built like tanks. Their motors are the strongest in the industry. You can also swap cartridges pretty easily.
They are subject to audible hum that comes from the built in preamp which is non-deatable, even if you don’t use it. There are DIY videos on YouTube showing how to bypass the preamp, if you like to perform surgery. The tonearms on the OEMs are nothing to write home about and contribute to what is just ok sound.
You pretty much need to spend at least a grand to get better performance. I have had zero luck with used TTs, so I won’t comment on what you have listed.
At $1100, the Pro-ject Classic Anniversary is very do-able and you will notice the improvement in sound. That is what I purchased.

If used is what you are after and want to stay with the DD tables, try to score a Technics 1200 in good shape.
