I just noticed that the price for the TIVDIO V-115 has been lowered to $19.99 US shipped on Amazon.com.
Click here to read our previous reviews of this radio. At this price, it would make a great stocking stuffer!
The SWLing Post
Shortwave listening and everything radio including reviews, broadcasting, ham radio, field operation, DXing, maker kits, travel, emergency gear, events, and more
Via ebay this radio is available for AU $21 from China, and AU $30 from a Sydney seller
The price in USD of $20 is decent (in between those two amounts once converted to aussie dollars)
Agree this is a great stocking stuffer or nice little gift for anyone interested in radio but hard to buy for. It’s a great little radio, recharges over USB too, and even records radio.
It’s no DX machine, but paired with the equally cheap Tecsun loop antenna (AN-100/AN-200) it can get some good results and the radio is small enough to sit inside the loop.
Last Sunday and again on Tuesday, Amazon offered this radio for $17.99 via “Lightning Deals”. These deals are typically only offered for a few hours & they have a specific number set – if/when x-number of units sell, the deal is over.
I recommend the plugin called “Keepa”. You can set alerts for anything on Amazon based on “Desired Price” for new Amazon, new marketplace & used units. If/when the item hits that desired price (or lower), you will be notified via email (and a Browser notification). I’ve scored several items for great prices via the Keepa plugin (aka extension).
In this issue: “Troy reveals the secret to his price tips!!!” 🙂 I’ll have to check out Keepa!
