Classic Sony TPS-L2 Walkman used by Chris Pratt's Peter Quill in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie series seemingly has more charm than we've imagined. The vintage player, which becomes Quill's most beloved possession in the movies, is now selling for hundreds of pounds on eBay.
Sony TPS-L2 was actually the first Walkman to ever be produced and originally cost $200. It went on sale on July 1, 1979 in Japan and was sold in the U.S. the following year. Thanks to "GOTG Vol. 1" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", the player is going for hundreds, even thousands of dollars on eBay.
In the movie, the Walkman is a gift given by Quill's mother to him. Quill uses it to play the cassettes filled with her favorite songs.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" unsurprisingly dominated the box office in its debut weekend. The sequel, which saw the returns of Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker, nabbed a massive $146.5 million domestically.
In addition, the sequel gained $285 million overseas. The quirky superhero film earned $48.5 million in China alone, becoming the fourth largest opening in the country to date. So far, "Vol. 2" successfully nabbed $441 million globally.
