Comes in orginal hard presentation case. 2000 piece limited edition. Comes with everything except the battery/charger. Not sure if it's working due to having no battery. Has been sitting around encased in box for very long time. Last time used was 18 years ago and it worked perfectly then. Very rare! Name your price

Hi Jess, Can you post some clear pictures including box this will help us determine value.

Sure! I will post some tonight.

How Much $$$

These go for a mint on ebay, last one went for over $500 US

Are you still willing to sell it and if so how much?

$$ ? Very interested, working to get most of the Anniversary Walkmans.

Sorry, can't say I've ever seen one of these go for $500 & they don't appear to be that rare considering the 2,000 production run. I thought they made more to be honest.

Here's one on eBay UK at £10.

Sorry Chris, I know you're the expert and I'm just a humble rookie here ;-) , but the link you posted is WM-701C with anniversary logo, not the silver WM-701S with wooden box.

Perhaps you meant this one?:

Does not look like the box is wooden on this one (that was the 200/250 production run Tiffany's model IMHO), but still looks to be a quite rare model...

The "normal" WM-701S is here:

And the Tiffany&Co is here:

Ah, the Tiffany&Co. model is called WM-701T.

How thoughtful of Sony

Supposedly 250 were made & 200 given as gifts to celebrities, etc.

Sorry guys, I stand corrected. I thought we were all refering to the one single Aniversary model rather than a wooden boxed version. These units are a bit late for me to cast any superior knowledge over :-)

So, as you were.

Thes edo appear more ofeten on ebay then a nice
and kool sanyo or toshiba walkman

A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT SONY WALKMANS:

Stereobelt

A portable personal stereo audio cassette player, called Stereobelt, was first invented by the German-Brazilian Andreas Pavel in 1972. Pavel filed a patent for his Stereobelt in Italy in 1977, followed by patent applications in the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan by the end of 1978.

In 1979, Sony began selling the popular Walkman, and in 1980 started legal talks with Pavel regarding a royalty fee. In 1986 Sony finally agreed to pay royalties to Pavel, but only for sales in Germany, and only for a few models, and refused to acknowledge him as the inventor of the device.

In 2001, Pavel threatened Sony with legal suits in every country in which he had patented his invention. The corporation agreed to resume talks with Pavel and a settlement was finally reached in 2003. The exact settlement fee is a closely guarded secret but European press accounts said that Pavel received a cash settlement for damages in excess of $10,000,000 and is now also receiving royalties on some Walkman sales. The settlement also includes a clause which will prevent Pavel from bringing future law suits.

The settlement grants Pavel the recognition from Sony that he was the original inventor of the personal stereo, this apparently could only be achieved after the death of Morita, the founder of Sony and its previously recognised creator.

However, because of Sony's strong publicity, the word Walkman is now part of pop culture, and is used more often than the generic term "personal stereo" or the relatively unknown Stereobelt.
