1980s Boomboxes

Kids nowadays don’t know what a boombox is let alone how to use one. Unless they are considered hipsters or people with a love for vintage finds, these radios played a part in the music industry. Aside from playing cassette tapes, modern versions come with CD players, too. Of course, now that we have smartphones, we don’t need to bring this heavy equipment all the time.

But you might be surprised to learn that the Boombox Ghetto Blaster can fetch up to $1,600 online. In fact, these boom boxes were a staple in the United States back in the day when young kids used to bring them wherever they went. This was one of their biggest investments back in the days.
