Title: FS: RIOCAR MP3 Player. 60 gigs!
Post by: Demon-Seed on May 22, 2004, 11:14:36 pm
Hey Guys
I am considering selling my baby. I just never update the tunes any more and I need the money. Its the last version they made, version 2 I think.. I would have to check. Has 2 30 gig laptop drives in it, remote, sled and pc adapter. I think the remote still works, needs a new battery I think. I just had LORD look at tht e unit, re seed the IDE's and load all the latest drivers etc... works great. Comes with red and blue face.... any offers? what kinda of money is reasonable?

No Offense but I dont really want to sell it if you would gut it for the hard drives. This unit is one of the best car mp3 players ever made. Holds 60 Gigs of albums! plus the LCD screen is amazing.. does tones and tones of neat animated displays to show songs, albums etc.. great machine.... can also buy a add on radio tuner... neat unit. Rio used to make it, but they have since sold the rights to one of the big companies.. I think Sony.

The unit i have was the last version they made. Olderversions used to be known as EMPEG. It can have the lenses changed, software upgraded, games put on it, etc.... you upload tracks via Ethernet or USB. (USB is slower though)

heres some links and pics.

www.empeg.com


I will post some pics

I've seen a couple go on ebay for @ $50 to $100.  I've give you $75 for it.  Plus I live close to you so I can come by and pick it up.

Let me know.

Hey
GGKoul. No offense but you should do a little more research. The units are not $100. They may have opened on ebay for that but they would not go that cheap. Maybe if it was DOA or something. or parts.

I just thought I would see if anyone is interesed. Please msg me or email me if serious about the unit.

thanks
Jim

So, how about you throw out what you consider to be a fair price or trade?  If I were you, I'd put it on ebay with a set reserve of what you consider its worth -$50

Hey
I think 400 is fair. I may put on ebay but I thought I would offer it to you guys first.

O man, that is awesome.

I wish I had to cash for it, but I only have like 250-300 now.  Good luck with the sale though, very cool unit.
