As MyOhMy suggested, i should talk about situation over here. Most of users i see here are from USA, UK and NZ or just "lands of plenty" 
Well, as Estonia was ex-soviet block country, only Soviet made electronics were retail available (if there were any left), Japanese electronics and boomboxes were sold in special shops that were meant for sailors who could spend their foreign currency there as owning a foreign currency was a crime in Soviet Union. These shops were also meant to tease ordinary Soviet people Boomboxes were sold there, but they were unavailable to ordinary people and just too expensive. Many boomboxes sold here had also OIRT-FM band (65-74Mhz) that are quite useless nowadays.
Today, there are lots of Soviet made electronics and radios for sale, we also have vintage Japanese boomboxes for sale, but they go here for high prices as there is a number of collectors, i know myself 5-6 serious collectors and i´ve visited one, his collection is quite impressing, most valuable items are bought abroad. Here´s a picture with me and his collection:
It´s actually a small part of his fast growing collection. I repair and refurbish his boomboxes if i have free time left, he even gave me his scruffy looking Hitachi 3D7 as a present, best gift i´ve ever got
If you want to look around our market, give it a go :
https://www.osta.ee/en/category/audiovideo/stereo-equipment
https://www.osta.ee/en/category/audiovideo/radios
These are most common auction sites over here. Some private sellers and hustlers, nothing else, if lucky, you´ll get a nice piece.
Some are quite nutty boomboxers

TL;DR: There´s something going on here, but good boxes are worth a dime here and to find one for reasonable price is a struggle.
