5 buck's won and 43.00 dollars shipping for a bunch of somewhat cheapo version's of walmans - dont know - would something I would pass on...

( from the listing descriptiion )

Here is a bunch of Walkmans. Probably all need something done to get them to work. They have been laying here since the 1990's and, it's time they find a new home. Here's what is here. Working condition unknown on all. I will assume they don't work, then, if you get them and they DO work, you will be that much further ahead. Price is reasonable. 1) Sharp JC-K15G(BL) Stereo Cassette Player, in box 1) Toshiba KT-4066 2) Toshiba KT-4046, one is missing the battery cover 1) Sony MegaBass WM-AF65/BF65 1) Sony WM-AF61 1) Toshiba KT-4519 with built in equalizer

The two Sony's are old tat. As is the toshiba on the top right. The four other units were high end in there day. 36 euro. I think a good price.

I will stay with the one's that i have that still work and only purchase those walkmans that are top of the Line and priced unknowningly from the seller. 

Meanwhile i have a fair supply of walkmans that should last my Lifetime, I may even start selling some of the one's that I bought ( supposed to work ) and didnt - some I have the belts for and the rest ...

Some people post more than others......Since when is that news?

Top of the morning all. So, I think it's true what they say. "You gets what you pays for". This bargain turned out to be old tat. More landfill I'm afraid. Such is life!

You bought the lot?

minty - 2011-11-27 02:53

Yes indeed. Binned it. Scrap really. I'll stick to more expensive boxed items from now on!

As you can see on my post regarding the Toshiba KT-4177 I purchased recently, there are bargains to be had out there. But these job lots are bad news. Usually only junk!

Job lots can yield a few good 'uns, so I wouldn't be so quick to discount them all.

 

I bought a job lot from Germany of 12 walkmans for 45€ recently. Quite a few were crappy egg walkmans, but key amongst them were an AIWA HS-JX505 and a HS-PX101. There were also a couple mid range Panasonics too. Both AIWA are now repaired and fully working. You just got to study the pictures and description carefully then make a judgement call.

 

I got a couple more job lots coming from Japan after the New Year with some rare AIWAs in them.
