Going to sell my TV since I'm moving... anybody have an idea of what it's worth?
Had a look around trademe/google but can't nail down a fair price...

It's this one:

Oh btw purchased October 2008 and it's in perfect condition.

Got my Mum a Samsung 40" for $1600 last night new from JB..

Does that help?
[quote]
Yeah not really :/ When I bought this one, there were other 42" ones available for like $1400 - but this one was like $3799 retail
[quote]
I'll give you $500 for it. Stone cold cash.

Maybe you got ripped off?? Razz

This one was full hd / freeview / 100hz picture / 4 hdmi..

Regardless its a 2 year old TV that would be a lot less to replace with a new model the same.

You'll be looking at $800 - $1000 if you are lucky I reckon, unless its got some revolutionary features I'm missing. Is it 100hz. You're up against other tv's like this one 3 months old.

I generally work on a rule of half to two thirds new value for 2nd hand shit thats in as new condition.

That 3 month old one is not full hd though from what I can verify but regardless, plasma 600hz subfield motion equates to 60 hz or less, I think, and it shows up in sports broadcasts. Plasma is truly the choice for me for movie watching and most else. After 2 years your plasma will be well under half I'd say, given what's available new nowadays for $1500-2200 and what a mate of mine got for his year old sony 42 hd lcd on trademe earlier this year ($800).

yeh anything second hand should have that formula applied even the day after you bought it '
but that only applies if the mkt price for something of a particular value has stayed the same whereas we all know how much big screen tv's have come down in price so its not so relevant anymore. and its 2 years old and these days that could easily be a 3rd of its effective life.

I'd investigate the price of replacing it over there and find out the cost of freight and start considering taking it with me coz the bottom line is its worth SFA in the 2nd hand market of a depressed economy

the beauty of trade me and any auction is of course that it will determine the fair price - you just need to set a minimum you can live with.

Oh yeah looks like you are right..

Was just a quick google... the price of that particular one is maybe not as relevant anyway because noone has bought it which means it may well be over priced.

Thus the point of this thread ? Razz

Stop being a pussy and set a $1 reserve.
[quote]
You didn't accept. Offer's now $375
[quote]
Set reserve of $500, buy now $1750. That's realistic. You can get around $900, over a grand if you're lucky. If you need a quick sale, I would take vadz $500 offer. Razz
