i don't know much about tv's. this was in my son's apartment. we cleaned it out after he died and i dont need a tv this big.
is it worth $500? i guess it wasnt that old.
i don't know if $500 is a fair offer or too much? email me with a fair offer.
* this is in or around ferndale
* no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

i recieved about 25 emails....and what a surprise!?

15 of the cheapskate f*ggots said the tv was worth less than $500
and only 4 said that i was posting a bad deal.

less than 20% were honest

example emails include

find out the make & model# on back of TV
then Google search it,
you will find your answer then.
don?t sell it that cheap.

The price all depends on what brand TV, what features it has and what type it is (LCD, DLP, Plasma, CRT)
knowing this information will really give you a better chnace at knowing if your price is fair. Look at the model number and look it up on the internet. Then go to a few istes like Best BUy and Circuit City and see what they are going for brand new and you can figure out a fair price.
But i think for a TV that big $500 is a really good price.

Well you know like someone else said it really does depend on the brand and the model as well as how old the TV is. A friend of mine has a 55" Mitsubishi he paid 180 bucks for at a clearance place. Of course it was a much older CRT Rear Projection set but you also have to remember that people these days are more concerned with the "me" factor than the fact that the person selling the TV was selling his dead son's belongings. I think that the more we supposedly "evolve" to conform with the new generation the more our "humanity" diminishes. My advice, move to Canada with us, you may still get assholes e-mail ya, but they won't shoot ya on yer way to the corner store. :P

You'll get no arguement from this American. Canada and its citizens are awesome! Even the canadian government and its politics...while I doubt that there is such a thing as efficient government, Canada's government is probably more geared to the welfare and well being of its citizens than any other government in the group of advanced nations ... I think the US is dead last. As you've probably read in the news, we've got a big problem with illegal aliens getting into the country over the southernmost border ... we certainly don't have the same problem with our northernmost borders LOL!
