Sold an OLD TV yesterday and while testing it I found this...

08-23-2019, 05:34 AM

So I had this old Flatscreen TV kicking around from 2004 or something. It was a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV with Composite, RGB, Antenna, RS-232 and other analog connectors on it. It had 1 HDMI connector that was actually a card inserted into the TV.

Anyway we went to test it yesterday before we sold it by connecting a wire to the TV antenna connector but we could not tune ANY channels. The local channels here could not be found. So we hooked up an old DVD player instead to demo the TV. It worked and it was sold.

Then later it was bugging me. Was the TV tuner dead? Why couldn't I get any local channels? Was the wire antenna too short? Was it --

Oh shit I forgot!!

None of the local channels here (Montreal) broadcast anything in analog anymore. Everything went HD / Digital 10 years ago. Analog TV is gone, gone gone. Times have changed.

Sigh..

I sold a 37 inch plasma with stand last year for $100. Bought it in 2006 I think. Was a great TV, still had amazing picture. Only reason I sold it was that I didn't need it anymore. Guy bought it for his 7-year-old daughter's birthday.

Yup. I think that TV was manufactured right at the turning point. It only supported analog out of the box - you had to add an HDMI interface to it in order for it to accept a digital signal. Crazy.

I liked it too and when we moved to our house 5 years ago, we were going to mount it on our wall in the living room. We even paid extra while the house was being built to have the wall reinforced to make sure it could support the TV.

When the day came to mount it, Tracy and I could barely lift it, forget lifting it up to eye level to mount. We decided it was finally time to upgrade, and bought a smart TV that weighed 1 tenth of the old TV.

I don't really know. I put it up for sale in the Facebook Marketplace. A woman and her kid sent me a message want wanted to pick it up right away, that night. She googled the model number and knew exactly what she was buying to, so...

Probably wanted it for a videogame TV or something like that. If/when on a budget, no real need or reason to buy your kids brand-new TVs. In fact even if you have money, no real reason to buy your kids brand-new TVs.

I remember my first TV as a kid. 13 inches. Could barely see the damn thing. Was used. But boy did I love being able to watch my shows in my bedroom with nobody bothering me.

I agree with Sly. Might be old, but still good for kids and what not. Hook a DVD player up to it. Doesn't have modern connections? No problem, buy an adaptor.

You can buy 42” 1080p screens for under $150, with a warranty...new in the box. No way I’m spending hard earned money on 15 year old used stuff when new can be had for a few bucks more. For under $600 we put TVs in all 4 of the kids bedrooms.

Spend you some brain.

That's a fair point. Then I don't know why people buy used TVs, just glad they do, LOL.

So selling stuff is a diss now? Lol.

Well, congrats on not selling stuff?

I sell stuff on Letgo, amazon, etc all the time. Not because I'm broke, its because I'm an anti-hoarder with a hustler's ambition. I can't function in clutter and I like to make money.

Why not get paid to get rid of my unused stuff?

I don't like throwing things away. If I have a perfectly good, working item, why throw it away?

Sometimes things are not worth the hassle of selling, that's what Goodwill is great for. I keep a bag that I just throw things in overtime until the bag fills up and then I drop it off.

I hate the idea of wasting resources that someone else could easily use.

haha, I was about to ask where your Ferrari was?

I'm torn on what to do with my main TV a 55" Samsung. I bought it in 2014 and it's not the quality it was. It's sad that today's TVs can't last 6 yrs but my mom had an RCA 26" that was 20+ yrs old when she gave it to me. Part of my thinks I'll buy myself a new 55" 4k for xmas and part of me wants to buy another projector.

I had HD projectors from 2006-2014 but I hated replacing lamps every 2,000 hours. Today's LED ones can go 40-50k hours.

Not saying what anyone else should or shouldn't do, but in case there's anyone who hasn't thought of this: think about giving your old TV (or old laptop, or whatever else it is) to a struggling single mum who's only tv in the house just went kaput, a disabled person with fuck all to do except watch some old 22" screen all day, or just donate the item to a charity store or some other deserving case you can think of.

Not an order, or even a suggestion, just throwing it out as an option. My last TV made a disabled couple extremely far happier than I'd have been with the money I'd have got for it. And give your old clothes to the salvation army or a homeless charity rather than throw them out - believe me some poor fucker somewhere that is genuinely homeless will be over the moon.

Still have an old 52" Sony projo from 2001 in the basement gathering dust (those monsters with castor wheels). Paid a fortune for it back in the day. But it'd be a douche to get up the basement stairs...so there it sits. Still works...at least it did last time I fired it up.

I sold my washmachine [from 1980] last month.

2 days later, the buyer complained that the washing machie doesn't take water, and gets very hot.

I recommended to use the washmachine as a dryer

that's nice, but he was talking about people being on a budget. or if you are you are spending it on strange things.

'new' tv's aren't all that much better than old ones at the end of the day. if the picture works and it doesn't weigh 200 lbs why not?
