Not my listing, but a great deal, bought one a couple weeks ago for $39 from a different seller. But found this guys listed at $9.99, so bought a few, he has 8 left. Would buy them all, but rather give someone else a chance, as I just going to keep a couple one to use the other for collection and end up giving away or selling the rest at a later time. Someone buys theses before they are gone, this is going to be a very rare Pico recorder due to, it was a marketing disasters and was over $325 when new in 1985, is very well built, all metal no cheap plastic, great for a collector. Like the time when they came out with stereo microcasette recorder it failed, due to cost. The most notoriously unpopular ANALOG cassette recorder ever made, the PICO cassette (available rarely on E-Bay), due to price of over $325 in 1985 when you can buy a microcaseete recorder, even back then for $30 bucks.  

The PICO ANALOG cassette was developed by JVC and Dictaphone. It failed in the marketplace. 

 

They were selling for around $100 a few months back, these are very rare despite this guy putting 100's out there on the market, which were probably unsold at the time sitting in a warehouse,  don't know were this guy founds these, but is a great deal, he had more then one listing?
