Big bigmoney in selling those! But they don't sell well via facebook for some reason. They go for mad prices on eBay though. Especially if they're from a decent brand. Sane with walkmans and discmans as well. I've got a stack of video players waiting to go on eBay but want to make sure I have the right insurance in place first just in case one of them kills someone!

I've got a Betamax VCR in case anyone wants to buy that!

if it's in working condition I would actually buy it. It'll have value to someone!

Christ on a bike! I've just searched for it on ebay and the same model has recently sold for £155.00 !!

I will have to hunt out an old TV aerial cable to test if it works. Assuming I can tune my TV to find it.

Thanks for highlighting this Andrew.

Freecycle and gumtree are chocked full of “free to a good home” CRT TVs....

I found (about 10 years ago) that CRT TVs went for £15-20 with a remote control, at the local car boots.

I’d not want to be running a business involving selling TVs online as the cost/pain/storage of them would be a pain.

He’s selling them locally on facebook so pickup only

Excellent work!

Not an issue then.

Nope I suppose the only issue is if you live in a remote city you may struggle as you are only advertising to local folk

Even if it doesn't work with a 155 price for a working one I bet you can get 50 - 60 for one listed as spares and repairs!

Yeah storage is an issue so I only flip a couple a week. But if I go into reselling in a big way then a van and a lockup will be on my shopping list!

My catchment area is only 250,000 :-( And there's a couple of dozen of them who already have one of my tvs :-( So I'm hoping some of my former customers will be looking for upgrades in the future!
