Get an MP3 player!! The "poor" guy who won it got sniped at last minute, leading to a hefty price tag - another thing why eBay isn't always the "best deals"... and oh, by the way, the Walkman was non-functional as described.

Ebay is DEAD. not only all the above ,but a terrible economy and swoosh, no more e-bay. sometimes the bidder is a drunk on a public access computer with a fake site and he or she is just bidding either to screw with people or destroy his or her competition. like so many things ,e-bay has turned into a den of thieves. p.s. overstock.com has way better deals,brand new,and any junkyard has better vehicles.

They retail at $695, so I figure a used one should go for up to maybe 2/3 of the cost, right? I saw a used one go for $660 + $11 shipping last week. You are defiantly correct about it being for suckers...the buyers that win seem to really be losers...ouch.
