finding a DD in the box with reasonable price is not common

A nice DD11 with accessories and box

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SONY-WALKMAN...476639?hash=item3d3227d65f:g:gEMAAOSwLEtYkzV-


PROS:
cosmetically appears to be very clean.
complete set in a box
bargain price for 179 Euros +S&H
International shipping is available

Panasonic RX SA70

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-80s-...205312?hash=item282aa5de80:g:Y5sAAOSw-0xYlQPc

PROS:
Brand new with all accessories in the box
low price for now
RED color

CONS:
Box shows some deterioration and doesn't look new at all
right upper corner of front side of the walkman shows some possible damage
no fixed price

 

Is it just me or are most of these overpriced? I don't think a DD11 is worth that much, you can get better DD machines for that money...
The D6C for $175 is a good deal though.

I find that I have to hunt very hard on ebay to get a good deal on most desirable Walkmans. So far my best ebay finds are a red P02 mkII, DD33 for 30-40 usd each, 702 for $15.
I guess the best tactic to get nice Walkmans on ebay for lower than average prices is to check ebay all the time for BINs, and look for inaccurate listings.
As most Walkmans need a service or belt replacement anyway, I don't find non-working condition a deal breaker.

 

Well, I agree with you, but those you found probably didn't come with box and accessories. I guess when a walkman comes with its original packaging collectors are willing to pay higher prices. So all the things i found and placed here have their own flaws. But if i had your expertise definitely would buy that DD11 with box and accessories for 179 Euros. So why dont you buy that one fix it and sell it to me and i pay your price

 

It is not very common to find walkman that owned by "dude" (Big Lebowski) on Ebay easily.
Anyway here is your chance to add dude's walkman to your collection

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sony-Walkman...377138?hash=item36138f1132:g:QkQAAOSwdGFYtikH

most of the collectible walkmans are expensive, this one is cheap
the walkman is seen several times in "big Lebowski" movie


CONS:
seller only ships to US and Canada
walkman doesn't work, most probably needs belt ( needs 2 belts)
the quality of this walkman is not great

 

A working SHARP JC-TV10 walkman in red color for only 107 USD is a good buy.

There is a Sony DC2 on eBay right now that might be a good deal

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-WM-DC2...950705?hash=item3d3688f671:g:~jAAAOSw4A5Y0DXy

PROS:
Great condition (per seller )

I'd get it, but I'd need someone to proxy it and send it to me. Khan,if you'd ask them if they'd send it to Australia, that would be great.

 

I am always available to help other members.

 

Its not easy to find a WM-701S 10th Anniversary Special Commemorative Edition in brand new condition

This can be the best deal for somebody who has knowledge about how to fix this walkman, so to me this is an excellent deal!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sony-WM-D6-P...94d7e0&pid=100011&rk=6&rkt=12&sd=262889845534

Not easy to find a cheap SOLAR walkman for only 80$ at the moment.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/401313219151?ul_noapp=true

Pros:
- Its a SOLAR walkman, the money you save on AA batteries in itself is reason enough
- They are hard to come by
- Cheap for what is

Cons:
- Needs repair, could be the belt, or messed up PCB, or broken internals.
- Cosmetically nothing is broken, it just some heavy duty scrubbing and a whole pack of q-tips.

If i wasn't a freshman nearing financial bankruptcy, I'd buy this ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's not going to end at 80,
it also can't run tapes on the solar panel, and even if you could, doing so today will quickly ruin the plastic for such a rare machine.
