    I suspect they would donate the trade-ins to a charity and get a tax deduction for it. "We donated 1,000 radios worth £X"

    Here is what was being advertised this day back in 1995
    1995 Dixons.jpg

    That Sanyo portable CD player near the bottom is expensive.
    More than a 14" TV (which would be colour at that price)

    A Dixons advert from 1994. At the time they were competing against rivals like Comet, Rumbelows, and Tandy (Radio Shack)
    They also had newspaper adverts but for things like answering machines.

    Found on Twitter
    The "brick series" Sony WA-33 leads the way on pricing, anybody know why these were more expensive? I must be a true nerd, I also own the PC-1250 calculator and docking station, all those cool items in that little unit.

    Toshiba from 1971, the top console is nice looking! Most of ours during this time were very dated Victorian Style and still look very dated.
