I'll start off with an old iriver flash player. I think it was one of the first ones to come out and back then I paid $50 for 32mb. The thing could hold like 8 songs at 128kbs, which I guess was impressive back in the day. It was a pretty decent deal back then, especially since I bought it on black friday from bestbuy. My other purchase was my sony cd player way back when. I guess for $50 I couldnt really complain, especially since I had no idea head-fi existed then. Currently no regrets with my x5 other than the gap between skipping songs. I didn't think mp3 players would become so mainstream and cheap, especially compared to when I first started looking at them.
I'm currently more surprised at the prices and storage space that people are able to produce these things at. Its especially a big leap considering a year ago the sansa 4gb model wouldve cost $140, which was a good deal, and now costs a fraction of that. I guess that means in a year I will be upgrading to a 30gb flashed based player
