Hi folks, Looking to sell my WM701S. Please see the pics. The walkman itself is in nearly pefect condition, easily 9 or 9.5 out of 10. All accesories are as new. The box itself shows some scuffs that are noticable depending on the angle of viewing, the box is about 7/10 condition. Since the original owner only ever had it as a display piece, I did install a new belt from "fix your audio" (Slovakia) as well as did a speed sync and I can confirm it all works as it should. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also I should mention I can facilitate shipping to Canada or the US for cheap because I live very close to the border.
... and then you Google the price Lucky me, Sony never made any commemorative or "limited edition" Discmans. The most expensive Sony, D-Z555 can be bought for under a thousand
I don't blame them, it's part of the fun of collecting. Some of my stuff might be "normal" but might have beened owned by a figure from history, that's always a cool point as well.
Ah, the famous slot-loading Discman! Totally agreed, D-E01 is almost as beautiful as WM701S offered here There is one boxed available for $1.25k right now: Some of these D-E01 even have a sticker "20th Anniversary Walkman"... @Emiel is right, this is the closest Discmans came to Tiffany Edition Walkmans @Gagan Singh did not mention price, but I doubt it is anywhere near $1.25k. Probably multiple of? I will ask @Boodokhan, he collected a few of these
I actually saw more than one of these going on https://tori.fi however the condition was pretty bad. The seller only wanted about $300. A simple polish could have done a lot to increase the value, so could have selling it on eBay instead of local classifieds. Didn't end up getting it because I have more than enough expensive premium walkmans as is. This is a beautiful one though and could easily be restored by a detailer to pretty much perfect condition. Especially considering that the wear isn't on any part that has text etc.
Hi guys, I thought I'd post an update here as I've decided to list my walkman on Ebay. If anyone is interested please see the link and happy bidding! Would love to see it go to a good home! https://www.ebay.com/itm/287691274589
