    When I was a kid in 1983 I was gifted this very walkman, a Sony WM-3 deluxe.

    I kept it very carefully until late 80's when it was mostly obsoleted by miniaturisation technology developments and I sold it to a then friend of mine who I'm no longer in contact with and cannot ask if I can buy it back.
    I would like to buy one, but I'm looking for a boxed WM-3 with all its accessories, including the two songs Sony demo tape. I really do not know what would be the appropriate price, on ebay and similar sites I see different prices ranging from 180 to 500+ EUR depending on the conditions.

    Any suggestion ?

    thanks
    bye

    I think you're right with your price range.
    Anyway, I move this thread to the right place: "Gear you want"

    I Do not accept cash for any of my extra items. Instead i can accept another item in exchange. So Do you have anything with the same value to exchange it?

    By the way a boxed WM-3 is not a rare item. You can get this from Ebay. Probably every month one shows up, and best of luck

    Thanks but i do not have anything to exchange, i do have a few walkman's and they are not very valuable ( i sort of like the underdog models).

    Yes, a boxed wm3 is not exactly a rare item, but they often miss something. Moreover in Europe, prices are crazy. In Italy there is boxed wm3 for sale at 560 Eur without the headphone. Way too much.

    I will keep looking!

    Bye
