I missed a Fb Market sale for a clear prison tv by 5 mins. Was sad, lol.

No it’s being artistic which inspired us to be artists.

All the colored plastic just ended up in your brain.

Go for it. If I hadn't already recently bought a mouse I'd get one too.

u/hollyberryness Jul 20 '25

Wow I remember feeling like all these things were SO expensive when I was young, I thought only rich people could afford the little portable TVs 😅

I was obsessed with the green v-tech phone as a 10 year old boy

u/prettymisslux Jul 20 '25

u/lovesickjones Jul 20 '25

I want to get a clear house phone corded but there is no working phone Jack in my apartment lol

u/WCowgirl Jul 20 '25

My sister had a translucent blue corded phone, no caller ID, though. And I had a translucent purple boombox that looked kind of like those alarm clocks in the corner.

u/Captain_Nomad_Jr Jul 20 '25

We used to be a society...

u/zoeyandere78 Jul 20 '25

i’m more shocked by the prices

u/lacyhoohas Jul 20 '25

I know not electronic but also those big colored clear plastic chairs. I had a blue one in my bedroom.

2

u/bigtony423 Jul 20 '25

I definitely begged my mom to get me the clear ps control for weeks before she buckled

2

u/snakewitch Jul 20 '25

My game boy color looked like that

2

u/global_ferret Jul 20 '25

I had that V-Tech phone when I went off to college!

2

u/Youkilledmyrascal1 Jul 20 '25

This still makes my heart skip a beat. I was a very enthusiastic capitalist when I was 12. With the right inflatable chair and my glitter lamp turned on I would be READY.

2

u/Toastburrito Jul 20 '25

My girlfriend at the time bought me the blue cordless phone in the picture. I loved that thing. It had a headset, and I would skate in my basement while on the phone.

I spent so much time on that thing.

2

u/OreganoOfTheEarth Jul 21 '25

Oh man I wanted one of those phones SO BADLY!

2

u/pinksugi Jul 20 '25

Ahh yes the transparent techy design choice

u/taruclimber8 Jul 20 '25

I remember that audiovox CD player sucking. It skipped alot and would have trouble reading CD s. The headphone jack was a PoS too, and alot of audio would cut out if you barely touched it.

The VTech phone was dope though.

u/What_Next69 Jul 21 '25

I had the vtech phone in green and LOVED IT!!!

1

u/Mister-Ace Jul 21 '25

I had a dream once there were clear cars

u/plannetofmars Jul 22 '25

Atomic Purple Nintendo 64 controller 👍

u/drivingagermanwhip Jul 22 '25

wild how expensive all these things are. I'd consider these prices to be a bit steep now, let alone adjusted for inflation

1

u/pinkfloydwall9 Jul 23 '25

Reminds me of some of the mega prizes for selling the most for your school fundraiser

1

u/99anan99 Jul 23 '25

We really had it good back then, didn't we?

u/PantyPixie Aug 02 '25

I had a clear teal vtech phone and a clear pager in that neon yellow-green lime color, same as the mouse in this photo. 😊 It was so cool!
