World's biggest walkman lot
walkman.archive - 2013-02-03 08:30
A friend of mine explained me a history that left me speechless. He was at the flea market of his city and suddeinly found a guy who was offering a box full of walkmans. There were about 40-50 walkmans in the box! He asked for a price for all and he could buy all them for 50 euros!
That's less than 1 euro each. But.. wait, there's more. The seller, then told him that he has even more... about 200 walkmans in his van!!
So he finally negotiated a price for 100 euros for what the seller has in the van. That's 150 euros for the whole lot.
He went home, counted all them and finally he has 233 walkmans!! That's about 60 euro cents for each.
But wait... he has found a DDII, a WM-5, WM-100 & F100, WM-DD11, DD22, DD33, an AIWA PL50, PL707, an near mint F07. Even a mint Boodo Khan!!
All this happened... this morning! Wow! I'm really impressed about what happened to him. And so happy that his collection has suddenly becomed one of the world's biggest . And probably it's the quickest one to populate...
Update:
And the winner: the guy on the right. (I blurred his face on his request, to keep his anonimate)
