crap sells at home too?

Hey Guys -

Is it ironic that I came across this on an Indian craigslist ad. I didn't know they had model numbers.

I didn’t even realized that they had Craigslist there.

Apparently it’s a bargain at $39.85 (the link is to a currency converter), if you can get it up to the correct speed for your records, or prefer to convert your foxtrots to dirges.

LOL, i just realized INR2000 was the price... I thought they were saying that was the model number. Oops! Still sorta funny tho.

Yes, the price is in Indian Rupees (INR). I’d try to come up with something creative to make it an acronym, but the ‘R’ makes it a bit more difficult...

I wonder if the speed is wrong, or if it does actually play at 32 RPM.

Out of random curiosity: did anyone make a machine with a 4-digit model number (without dashes)? All of the ones that come to my mind are at most 3-digits.

Perhaps it is such a crappy crappophone it can't even make it up to 33 ⅓ and and 78 is just far too much to ask for?
