    Has anyone seen a super cheap mp3 player at Target or Walmart? etc?

    I'm looking for a small cheap mp3 player (ie, something that can get stolen and you wouldn't think twice about it), and just curious if anyone has bought a super cheap one (like, for kids) at Target or Walmart in their area or even seen one there? (There are no Fry's in CO, or that would be my first choice.)


    just throwing this out to see if anyone has seen one before I conduct a major search.

    http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Sansa-...7268388&sr=8-7

    Dunno if that is super cheap (or big) enough.

      More specific on my specs:
      Under about $25 and 1 gb is fine.

      I am looking local cuz i leave for Vegas on Sat and not sure about shipping. So far the Target website hasn't proved fruitful. >.<

      I'm all about the Sansa players. (Thank you, Chris!)

        Craigslist maybe?

        I saw some at radio shack that were around that price/size range, I think kmart had a few listed though I don't know if you have one local.

        I am a big fan of pawn shops for stuff like this.

            If going Sansa, I would suggest getting one with a real battery and not the rechargeable. My rechargeable Sansa lasts only about an hour before going poof at full charge.

              I have a 1GB Zenstone Creative with pretty decent battery life if you want to borrow it. I almost never remember to use it.

                Thank you everyone on the input! I just went to Target and their cheapest one was a Hello Kitty 2gb for $40. Although, perfect for me, not what I was after.

                Lightfinger: awesome on the battery life info

                mage2: what?

                Moleprince: there is a chance this item will get stolen, so i'd hate to risk that. Thank you tons for the offer! (and did you decide -AHEM- to come to con yet?)

                  Lope: Honestly that's exactly what I picked it up for, sommat I could shlep around in my laptop bag and not worry if I lost it. Only put me out 20$ from ebay so I don't really worry about it.
                  As to er, uh. I'll know in a couple days if I can get off by then or not.

                        Just curious, why do you think it would get stolen?

                        xor
                        Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This applies to making babies, hacking, and youtube videos.
