This is the description of the item sold by Buy.com...
As you can see, they don't provide the AC adaptor neither the remote control
and rechargeable batteries (all optional or non-related).
So count, a surcharge of $60 approx. for this unit. So in fact the real
price is about $240 US.
Have a nice day ! Hope this will help !
Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
This MiniDisc player/recorder has a unique horizontal design with
easy-to-access buttons making the unit easier to use. The powerful Digital
Mega Bass sound system with 3- position switch provides rich, deep bass
tones with digital signal processing for virtually inaudible harmonic
distortion. It also has a 40 second shock resistant memory that resists
bumps or vibrations for uninterrupted skip-free playback of your music.
So, count a $15 for an AC adaptor (From Radio Shack), $8.00 each
rechargeable battery ($16 at all at Minidisco for 2 batteries), and about
$30 for the remote (only available for now on Sony Supplies Center; I don't
remember their 800 number, sorry...).
