How much did a portable CD player cost in the 1980s?

So I'm watching Wayne's World right as I'm typing this, and there's that scene in the car when Wayne and Cassandra are in the car (right after they sing "Mickey" by Toni Basil), and she makes a comment on the CD player...

How much did they cost back then? If you know, then could you give me the original price and the year--assuming you bought it (I could adjust for inflation), or you could adjust for inflation yourself. But I don't care either way.

Thanks!

    Like other electronics, they were expensive when they first came out and as time went on they dropped in price.

    I remember the portable ones for over $100.00. Boom boxes for $500.00.
