    Does it come with the entire cassette compartment stuffed with Cocaine or something ?

    I have seen listing like this on Ebay before and just don't understand them. $250 might be a realistic but optimistic punt in case someone really wanted this model in as new condition

    Great, I think it's worth 30€. So 47.470$ of profit... good deal.

    "Does not ship to France"… What a bummer!

    Some people are in cloud cuckoo land, I'd buy that at a bootsale for about a pound!

    Surely you'd go for this one if you really wanted one, especially as this is probably quite a common Walkman anyway....although I'd add that this is probably overpriced too!

    If the expensive one was in the right Charity Shop I would be tempted to point out that it already had the price on it i.e $34
    I did that with an LP once :ok

    Unfortunately I don't think people in the UK will be buying or selling anything at car boot sales this year.
    As for Charity Shops, in Highcliffe (where there are about six) I would guess that the only shops open will be the Co-op and Tesco.
    Now that the Toilet Roll situation seems to be back to normal it isn't worth going there to look.

    Yes, sadly I doubt there will be anything like a bootsale for quite a while yet, not that things like this pop up that often anymore, all get sold on ebay for silly money

    Absolute bargain!!

    Seriously though, we'll see how this listing goes... The seller will probably come to their senses, right...? :tongue:
