I bought this (see image, below) little AM/FM/MP3 player for $8.00 ($2 + $6S&H) and am really happy with it. It has great sound, it's easy to use, it's rechargeable, it's thin (less than an inch, about the size of a flip-phone) and it plays my music easily. I'm listening to talk radio on it right now.
So, not everything on Tophatter is junk. But you have to be careful and keep your bids low.
That said, I just found it for $5 on this site: http://item.mercari.com/gl/m54263593419/?utm_source=pla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=860520439&utm_content=t0&adgroup=44259517100&network=g&device=c&merchant_id=117144075&product_id=m54263593419&product_id=293946777986&gclid=CjwKCAjwmqHPBRBQEiwAOvbR8516oSDgWUVYkRTIMQeck8MS2ujtbJhCTHGf1tBRSzbhvWVAk5O1rxoCgwUQAvD_BwE
If you're in the market for a handy, rechargeable radio, I'd recommend this unit. DEFINITELY worth $5. Definitely worth $8, imo. (Most of the internet sites I see are charging more than $10.)
My only complaint with it is that it doesn't play well while charging. It picks up noise and is unintelligible (on AM, at least. I haven't tried it in other modes.) It also doesn't play well while sitting alongside active electronic devices. I have to keep it away from my laptop even when the laptop is operating on battery.
Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months |
