Why it is trending

What to look for
Check the bottom or battery door for a model number starting with WM, TPS, or DD, as those series draw the strongest buyer interest. Confirm the belt drive still spins by loading a battery in the store, a dead belt tanks value fast. Look for the original Sony branding on the door badge and avoid units with cracked tape windows or missing headphone jacks, since condition drives whether you land at the low end of the $20 to $137 range or well above the $52 median.
