The Sony D-15 may stll be available for about 250 American dollars. Other models are the D-25,D-35 and the D-555 which range in price from 300 American dollars for the D-25 to 400 American dollars. Be careful to purchase the player for the correct voltage (probably 110 or 220 volts) for your destination. Good Luck and have a nice day!
