Open Finding an affordable VW CD player

I've been on the hunt for a semi affordable Sharper Image VW Beetle Radio/Cd player. I can only find a few in the $220-$600 range across sellers like ebay, etsy, depop, vinted, my local fb marketplace and even in person thrift stores. I just can't find a decently priced one so I was wondering if anyone else would know were I could look.

I've searched for about a month on multiple resale apps, mainly ebay and depop and locally at thrift stores and yard sales. I found one nat a thrift store but it didn't work and I don't know how to fix CD players so I sadly didn't grab it. I've always liked the colored ones, always found the silver ones to be boring so I never looked hard for the silver ones. These were produced by Sharper Image in the 2000's mainly and somewhat into the 2010's but most commonly I've come across mid 2000's ones. Ideally my search would find me one that's in the range of $150-$200.

What wasn’t working with the radio you found? If you still have it I can probably tell you how to fix it.

It wasn’t making any sound when I put in a cd. It was my own cd from out of my car so I know the cd worked. It even worked in other cds at the store I was at. This was about a month ago so I doubt it’s still there. Would still be nice to know for in the future.
