It won't be $15 -- but an affordable player that is great with Rockbox is the SanDisk Clip+. It's got a decent screen, really small form factor, microSD.
My main Rockbox'd unit is an iPod Video (5.5) with an iFlash Quad (up to 4x microSD cards) and a 2000mAh battery. Not the most expensive project, but not as cheap as the Clip+.
My guess is that the parent is talking about the Sansa c200 or something similar.
Make sure they're not for parts. All you really need is the main logic board, but it's nice to start with a complete unit.
The best iPod Video is the Enhanced / 5.5 that has the 'search' item. An 80gb version of this also has more RAM, which I don't think is utilized at this time, but it might down the road. This may not be accurate now, but it was a few years ago.
The 80gb will come with the fat back. If you do the mod I did, you can use the slim back from the 30gb.

It looks like there's a few iPod Video models on eBay for $16.
