Is my Sony Walk Man worth anything?

[CTyankee]

Just found it in a storage drawer; forgot I even had it. It's yellow and appears to have been something you strapped on your arm...

11. A Chemist That Worked In My Lab...

...and a fellow musician, bought one.
I listened to his & went to buy one after work that day!
It was so much better than anything out there for portable music.
Later, I bought this leather-ish case for it that I could slip onto my belt so I could practice basketball moves while listening to music.
I couldn't do that with the Discman. Skipped too much. So, I kept the Walkman even after I went CD.

4. I had one of the first

It was called the Sony Soundabout. It was blue metal with two faders for balancing the volume stereophonically. There was an orange button that, when pressed, cut the volume in half and activated a built-in microphone so people could talk to you without removing your headphones. When I would walk around wearing it people would look at me oddly! Within six months they were ubiquitous.

5. I have a Sony FM WALKMAN..with the headset still in good shape for as much as I used it!

Should put some batteries in it n see if it still works..has a clip on the back I used to attach to my waistband.

6. It's worth at least.....

...a dollar three-eighty-nine. You might be able to sell it for a dollar SIX-eighty-nine.

But I wouldn't get greedy...... - - - -

7. There must be a glut on the market of this thing...

I had shoved it into a drawer and forgotten about it. Some of its parts appear to be crumbling. OUTSKI!

8. For a brief moment, they were a hot item

Thanks to the show "Stranger Things." But I suspect that's over.

9. I looked up the one I got in the early 80's and the model is worth over $300!

I don’t know if it works but was shocked it was selling for that much! It’s the Wm-f5 model.

Last gift I got from my ex husband before we split up and he asked for me it back to him which I laughed in his face and refused to return it! It’s sat in one of my dresser drawers for years! I just might sell it now !

10. Good luck!

I'm finding all kinds of interesting stuff in drawers I haven't opened in YEARS! I have lots of time to do this, fortunately, being retired and needing things to do that interest me.
