anyone have one they are not using? All it needs is to play tapes, I dont care if it records or not.

I want to use it in my garage, I have no cable out there and want to record baseball games, etc and watch them out there when working in the garage if nothing is on tv.

just looking for something cheap, maybe work out a trade for bottom bouncers or keel weights, etc

thanks

Hit the garage sales. On average you can pick them up from a buck to 3 bucks. I picked one up last year for 2 bucks, and it still works perfectly, plays, records, everything.

yea I know

when I see one I will but I dont want to drive around all day looking for one

I can probably find one at a Salvation Army store too

just thought I could swap someone, another way to get my product into fishermans hands

it actually works well, I have done a lot of swaps and it gets my stuff out there to someone who has not had a chance to see it

Yea, it does take some time, Garage Hopping. The wife and I do it for fun. You would not believe some of the stuff we found. Just last week we bought some white plastic deck chairs, cost? .12 cents each. I bought a tackle box last year for 20 bucks. The first lure I pulled out of it, I put on ebay, and sold it for 65 bucks. You never know what you are going to find.

my mother in law used to hold 2 garage sales a year out of my garage

it dominated everything and I hated them

so I kind of stay away from them now lol
