 I went to look at my local wal-mart and nothing. Can anyone post locations
 of store or the items SKU number if this does exist?

 Egads, $65?  That's cheap for ANYTHING MD!  I've seen car tape players
 cheaper than that.  Could there have been an error in that it's really
 $165?  And at Wal-Mart too???
 Proof that MD is going mainstream? :)

 Anyway, I found a picture of it at:
 http://www.sanyo.co.jp/AV/CEmedia_e/products/car/MDR-4/MDR4.html

 Doesn't look as nice as the Sony's, but it sure as heck looks a lot more
 expensive than $65.

No Sanyo MDR-4 car stereo at the Wal-Marts around
here.  Its not even at the Best Buy or Circuit Cities.
 Car md players at Circuit City are special ordered if
you want one.

Does sound like an offer too good to be true - darn.

1999-12-22 Thread Craig Goligowski


I went to our other super wal-mart tonight and they had the MDR4 on display,
marked at 269.97 regular marked down to 135.00. Talked to an employee and he
said he sold the last for 65.00 earlier that day. He said it was clearanced
so they would not be getting any new ones in. :( I asked if they would sell
the display and he said no they have a separate company that does the
display and the store did not own the unit to be able to sell it. I'm
depressed now. :(

I went to Super Wal-Mart today and didn't find it either.
In fact, I found no Sanyo anything in car audio.
You know what they say about if it's too good to be true...

 Matt (whom I spoke to on the phone and who seems quite trustworthy)
 said that his friend who works at the store said they had yet another
 pallet or two of them. I will try and talk to the automotive
 dept. manager there to see what the story is. One thing I should note
 is that LaVale MD on the MD/PA border and out in the boonies, closer
 to Pittsburgh than to Washington DC. What in the world is
 Sanyo/WalMart doing, dumping these units at blowout prices in the
 sticks? It's weird.

Perhaps we should initiate a group buy. :)
I know I definitely want one for that price!!!

If anyone finds somewhere that has them, I know I would certainly 
buy at least one. I'm sure a lot of people on this list would too.
