RCA RP7887 AM/FM Super Portable Radio (SuperRadio) - You Won'tBelieve This Price
Check out today's price for the RCA RP7887 AM/FM Super Portable Radio
(formerly the GE SuperRadio) at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RP7887-Sup...51006&sr =8-1 If it has bad dial calibration or other well-known flaws, well at this price who cares? It's a few cents higher than it was earlier today when I ordered one but it's still a fantastic buy at this price. I don't know how long Amazon will keep it this low, today is Nov. 14, but it's sure worth ordering at today's price. |

Well if you didn't order it Sunday Nov. 14 you're out of luck. It's
back up to its normal price again. Too bad if you missed it. I ordered one @ $20.66 and when I posted the message it was $20.92. But with Amazon you have to move fast or you lose out. Anyway you might want to check the radio's price from time to time this season. Who knows they might lower it again. |

RCA RP7887 AM/FM Super Portable Radio (SuperRadio) - You Won'tBelieve This Price
The radio arrived a few days after I ordered it - and it was an
OBVIOUS "return." You know the little tab which holds the cover in on a box? Generally it is stiff. Not this one - the box had obviously been opened and I said to myself, even before I got the radio out of the box, "This is a returned item." And it sure was! Plus, it was returned for a reason: the AM section did not function properly at all; even my local 50,000 Watt KYW NewsRadio 1060 kHz came in weakly and there was a great deal of hiss on all of the AM band. So I contacted Amazon via their customer service e-mail and I explained that the radio was obviously "used" and returned. As I had ordered and paid for a new radio, I wished to exchange the one I received. I quickly received a shipping label (I had several choices: take it to a local UPS pick-up location, have UPS pick it up - both of these options free to me, or to return it though my local post office, for which I would have to pay postage which would be refunded. I chose to bring it to a local UPS store which is less than a mile away) and it was shipped and scheduled to arrive today, November 24 - and it did. In the mean time, Amazon shipped another RCA Superradio to me and it too arrived today, November 24. This unit, a new one, is fine (though when I took it out of the box, the Power button had come loose and was askew. I thought, "Oh brother! If THIS one is defective too, I'm just going to ask for my money back." But when I pressed down on it, it seated itself properly and it seems to be okay. This radio also functions correctly. AM is excellent and good sounding (as is to be expected) and FM is fine too. By the way, this is not my first Superradio. I have the GE Superradio III version also as well as the Superradio I and II so I know how this radio is supposed to function. Anyway, at $20.66 and with Amazon having to pay shipping three times, they certainly didn't make an money from THIS sale! But I got a bargain. I suggest that anyone interested keep monitoring Amazon's site to check the price of this radio. Check a couple of times every day if you're interested. Maybe they'll offer it again at this low price, but I wouldn't hold my breath ... |
