Why it is trending
The analog nostalgia wave is peaking again, driven by a younger generation buying physical music formats for the first time. Cassette tape sales have climbed for several years running, and Walkman players are the obvious companion purchase pulling new buyers into the market.
What to look for
Check the bottom or battery door for the model number, WM-series units like the WM-2 or WM-DD models command the higher end of the $22 to $171 range. Make sure the belt-driven mechanism spins when you pop in batteries, a dead belt kills value fast. Original Sony branding on the door latch and headphone jack surround confirms authenticity over off-brand lookalikes.
