Sadly, you will have a difficult time finding a player w/a working battery. The majority of ones you'll see for sale won't have a functioning battery. (there are links on here that show how to replace it, but it isn't easy)

Also, your price probably isn't realistic if you're looking for the Gen style controller.

you might be able to find some 205, 210, 220 players sold as "refurbished" which have had the battery replaced. but they would be more expensive because people expect to make a little bit of money for the effort of replacing the battery. the battery in a brand new player such as DVS VE-200 should last a while, you might be able to get one for $100 if you're lucky
