Just FYI-There's a new kid on the block called jet.com that offers $10 off your first order and free shipping over $35.I see it as a free 10 dollar bill on the sidewalk.

some of the reviews are from ca. 2003, but the one I quoted is from 2014. It and some others made it clear that it was both A) Tech that their bosses were comfortable with and 2) they wanted the physical tape as some sort of evidential talisman that a jury or other legal entity would accept as authentic, where an MP3 might not be.

I imagine those reviews are generic ones for the product and not the ones that specific seller is selling.  Those machines were only ~ $25 - $50 years ago.  What's odd is there are other sellers selling them for hundreds of dollars as well.
* edit: I do see there are other stores selling some Sony microcassette recorders for $100. +, but still...Maybe they're collectibles or something.

Lawyers. Plus it transfers to "MP3" files so that's convenient...
 
I am switching to the digital age w/ a Sony Digital Recorder, so I won't have to deal a mechanical problem in the future, plus it transfers all recordings to "MP3" files, which is so much easier. I will keep the Microcassette Recorder though as it is good for permanent records.

"My 16 y.o. daughter bought this thing. It is ridiculously small and I probably couldn't legally post a picture of what it looks like if she attempts to wear it. But, so you can see... here is a picture of our cat wearing it. To be fair, it does cover all of the cats nipples, however, she hates the weave. In summary, do not buy this, even for your cat."

I had not seen that device before or see the commercials.  I did look up a video - I guess it was the TV commercial.  Interesting... I guess if there were a fly near one's French fries, with an accurate shot, one could permanently remove the pest and salt one's fries at the same time.

Saw a commercial for this on tv last night and cracked up over the slo-mo footage of flies being hit! Check out the questions and comments on this site! "Are flies protected game animals? will I need a license, tags, an orange safety vest to hunt them?"

"I can't believe all the ghosts I found with this device. They were all over; in my kitchen appliances, in my light bulbs, and even in my electrical outlets. I even think I summoned some kind of demon by shuffling my socks on the carpet. I mean, who knew that ghosts haunted power lines? I complained to my electric company that they were providing me haunted electricity and demanded that they send an exorcist but they wouldn't listen so I had them cut off the power and I covered the outlets with aluminum foil and crucifixes to protect my home and my family. I suggest everyone buy one of these so you can guard their homes from the evil ghosts that hide in the electricity..."

I gave mine away before my last move - didn't want to freak anyone out when they scanned the shipping container. I had it wrapped in aluminium foil for about 30 years and the foil kind of broke apart 

I'm gonna get one of these as soon as I figure out what it is.
