    I am probably being obtuse but why , in an Auction, is the Seller not accepting any more bids above 900,000 JPY and how come the bid is more than the bid he will accept? Did you mean to say that Buyee is not accepting bids unless they are more than a minimum of 900.000 JPY ?

    The Sony WM-505, this looks like it is all there in a neat case. I don't remember seeing one of these before and it looks to be JDM. With the wireless headphones, I think these couldn't be used in several other countries legally since they most likely used an FM band. Retro Thing did a blurb on it years ago, it's too bad they haven't updated the site in years. If you haven't seen this site be prepared to be amazed... https://www.retrothing.com/2011/10/the-wireless-walkman.html

    It was not the sellers who didnt accept high bids. This auction belongs to yahoo Japan and outside of Japan we do not have direct access to this auction site , So we are using certain middle men to but these stuff for us. The middle man (Buyee in this scenario) doesn't accept high bids.

    upload_2020-10-6_10-3-23.png

    PROS:
    hard to find walkman specially in multiple
    seller accepts offers
    shipping is free

    CONS:
    Explanation on the condition of these units are not very clear. [sellers (from Japan) probably used google translate]. So all might need repair
    one of the units has dent on the back , probably the same unit or another one has a mild dent on the side

    This model is always interesting but I've never seen one up close, the Unisef AF-100. I think this is one of the smallest portables made, yes it has a cassette player, I don't think it was included in the big thread of small units so it would be interesting to see the results. This seller has the only two for sale on Ebay right now.

    Panasonic RQ-A70, another one I can't tell if it's decent or not. It looks pretty nice and does record in stereo but there's not a lot of information on the net about it. I think it's a 1991 build date so quality is questionable but the units with rechargeable battery are usually a little nicer than normal. It looks like it's in mint condition.

    The HS-J110 is also one of the smallest two speaker mini-boomboxes, the similar Sanyo is really close but both of these models look like they have tiny speakers, maybe under 1" diameter, the other small boomboxes have 2.5" speakers and that takes up a lot of space.

    There is something unique about Panasonic 1940 and that is you can place your favorite picture on the face of walkman. Clear acrylic front panel can be easily lifted and the photo paper under acrylic can be changed with your favorite photo.
    Today there is a Panasonic 1940 walkman for about $46 (USD)

    JVC MQ-5K Stereo Microcassette Player
    This is a little expensive and shipping is very high? but this is one of the few I've seen with the headphones, and they still have their foam, I'm not sure if the color is correct or they're the right headphones without a better photo. The other foam pieces are the windscreens for the mics, also rare to have both of those still intact. The player itself looks like it's in great condition.

    What's the deal with that portable? I'd probably pass by it on most days.
