    Hi, I just started this account. I reconize some of you from a similar Boombox forum and some of you are new to me. I'm Jack and I love talking about boomboxes. My favorite boombox right now and possibly for the foreseeable future is the Conion C-100F. Unfortunately I do not have one of my own because all the ones on eBay I cannot afford. But I would be more than happy to talk your ear off about one :). That's all from me for now. Have a wonderful day.

    Welcome to the forum Jack! Like you, I can't justify the big ones, I still remember when they were pretty cheap and my limit online was something like $35. I missed out on some heavy-weights but I did pick up some killer obscure models.

    Are you meaning to tell me there was a time I could buy a boombox on eBay for 35 buck?!? Man I missed out.

    I'm still finding and buying, some, but it's nothing like before covid when shipping was cheap and I was finding late night BIN's for cheap. The market is correcting and there's a lot more flippers out there finding equipment and bringing it to market.

    We'll be kicking ourselves in 10 years for not picking up this deal! Then you have a 50/50 chance that the blurry photos hid corrosion.
