single battery powered portable radio offered for sale.

No such luck.
Looking around on eBay, I see simple portable radios that would have sold in a thrift store for five bucks a decade ago now commands prices of thirty or forty dollars. Sometimes more.

I tend to prefer the older, more robust transistor era radios of the 60s, 70s, and 80s to the newer chip-based stuff coming out of China.
The older analog radios may be a bit sloppy in tuning today's crowded FM band near major cities, but most oldie-but-goodies are far superior in pulling in distant AM and SW (if so equipped) stations.
