Rio Riot Worth Anything

Hi - I know this may not be the right board, but I looked at the Rio Portable board and it looks like it is long dead.

I was going through some old boxes and came across a Rio Riot I bought a long while back. I believe it is a 20 Gb. I have the charger cable as well. Is this worth anything to anybody or should I just throw it in the PC recycle bin? Im not looking to make any money, just wondered if one of you guys was screwing around with them or if they have any intrinsic value. I would imagine the iPod ihas long done away with them.

Thanks

Joe

I still think it's worth something. It was a damm fine player, the interface is great, and I really liked the 2 handed feel when on long trips, it's a shame there wasn't some sort of tetris type game on it, they it would have been perfect. I love my Riot almost as much as my Karma (still going strog, never missed a beat).

I have collected a few Riots in attempts to keep mine going, I even have a development one from Hugo, although I'm not taking that part for spares!

If you are going to throw it away then I will cover the cost of postage to the UK, otherwise why not put it on eBay if it still works it's got to be worth something.

Cheers

Cris.

I agree the Riot was far from as bad as people would say. They thing I remember not liking was however you had to load songs on it. It was before Rio Music Manager (which I really like now) if I remember correctly.

The Karma totally kicks it butt though

Yes, Riot was the last of the Rio Tigard products. I think that when, later, Rio Music Manager came along we did make it compatible with the Riot, though.
