"Buying an old and used big screen TV"
, posted Sun 2 May 19:52
I'm in the market for a big screen TV, at least 46 inches, but I don't have the money to buy a brand new HD TV.
Anyone got advice on buying old TV's? How much should I expect to pay? I know it may be asking alot, but I don't want to go above 300 dollars. Likewise, has anyone had experience with getting a good deal but spending way too much on any work being put into it?

I wish electronic appliances would go back to being encased in wood or simulated wood grain. Here's to hoping that interior design trends will go into a retro craze soon so the PS3 will come with the same black and wood design scheme that the Atari 2600 had.

How about an Atari Lynx with woodgrain casing?
... either way, I'm a fan of the design too. I just wasn't a fan of how woodgrain paper(?) covers would peel off or develop bubbles that were unsightly when popped. (I've seen it before.)

I'd say wait till december. Prices on tvs are supposed to go down a lot. Because of the hdtv only broadcasts on the future.
or something!
