From time to time, Amazon and J&R Music World offer them on sale for
about $129.00. Keep checking their sites.

I bought two more of them (giving me a total of five) from Amazon this
past December for $129.15 each with free shipping.

While not "perfect" (what radio is?), it's definitely the best overall
small portable SW receiver available right now. It would be ideal for a
child as she will never outgrow it.

Best,

Joe
