Sony Walkman WM-501

Hi,

So I got a vintage Sony Walkman WM-501 and was wondering what is a fair price to ask for these days?

I don't have the case anymore, but the device is still working fine.

Have been looking at Ebay and I see prices going from around 250 dollars all the way up to 1000 dollars.

Anybody with some more experience in vintage Walkmans that can give me some indication? Much appreciated! ))

Hi,

Hard to say - I think it very much depends of someone having interest to buy such a device - a fanboy or a collector.

Also the condition of the device counts in and if the accessories and package is complete.

Anyway, you seem to have a good indication.

So if your device is looking as new, all the accessories are there and the original box/package is there as well you should head into the higher price region - if not then you should lower the price.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the quick reply!

Totally new market for me, cause I found out yesterday I have this a vintage walkman in my possession.

If there is any a fanboy or a collector reading this, then don't hesitate to contact me.

Best,

Wouter
