For how much traffic the Walkman Section gets and what these guys are selling them for doesn't make sense. Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong, only 19 bids were placed on this unit and 4-5 guys. I certainly understand when you want a unit and will pay to get it but it would be nice if there was a true revival of these units and people were coming out of the woodwork to talk about them. When you look at the growth of AudioKarma, it's only natural for there to be a demand for walkmans and boomboxes so I'd expect an increase in sales prices. By the way, nice looking unit, can you show a few more photos!
I have tried to copy more of the photos from the e-bay link but I could not get it to copy and paste for some reason so here is the auction link below with the fotos .I trust neither the seller or new purchaser will mind I stopped bidding at about £130 20 minutes or so before the auction finished I have a few of this machine already so I was not going to break the bank this time (but I do not think I have a boxed one .I will have to check some time}. YOU WILL NOTE THE BOX WAS DAMAGED AS IT HAD "no battery" or such like scrawled on the top which think detracts especially at that price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Walk...-Boxed/322866008177?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
IT SEEMS SOME OF THE PICTURES ARE NO LONGER THERE IN PARTICULAR THE ONE SHOWING THE BOX WITH THE WORDING ' NO BATTERY' SCRAWLED ON THE TOP
I would have paid £90 - £140 for this unit . But £300 Notes , Bit steep . I usually just stalk the new listed items and hit BIN .
