    Are you looking for a pink one in working or non working condition? I have a pink WM 20 but is missing the battery cover and not working at the moment.

    I am looking for a working one more than a non working, but I definitely will take a non working one that is easy for me to repair (like belt replacement). If it is something big wrong with it I probably wouldn't take it.

    Thanks

    In my opinion get the silver or black one for now, and buy one in good working condition. Its easier to find a black and silver, and they are cheaper compare to pink color.
    you can trust @buzbox and he has a big collection of Wm-10/20/30s.

    How much would you sell the non working one for? Does the motor still run in it?

    For any WM-20, 10 that is in good cosmetic condition how much would they go for? All the ones I found were $200 to $300 range that were working and in good cosmetic condition.

    there is no set price for vintage electronics
    This is again my personal opinion or what i pay for a WM-20 in good working/ cosmetic condition

    Silver: without box or any accessories $180
    Silver: with all accessories including box $340
    Silver: brand new/ mint $400

    Pink: without box or any accessories $ 200
    Pink: with all accessories including box $400
    Pink: brand new/ mint $450

    remember again, if you do not have the knowledge of repairing walkmans Do not buy broken walkmans. Belt may not be the only issue with a non-functional walkman

    I've sold plenty of WM10 /20's. Most have been in excellent to mint condition. Average sales were around $300-$380 in Australian dollars. All were just the Walkman and with new belts too. A boxed mint condition can fetch over $500.

    which is very close to what i mentioned (if you convert it to US dollar)

    500 Australian dollar = US$ 393.51

    Bad news. Checked the pink wm 20 I have and it does not work. Even with the headphones plugged in. It's a little dented too.

    How much would you guys think a boxed mint condition never been used WM-W800 is worth?

    Dep nds on the color. WM-W800 comes in 3 different colors. Dark gray, red and silver
    Which one are your u referring?
    Any by the way, I didn't answer this question completely since this topic belongs to danny asking for a WM-20 and we don't want to hijack his topic and talk about something different.
