Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.

    I still see great TV’s for dirt cheap or free at thrift stores and the side of the road. The retro crt market is very strange, unless you’re chasing hard to find pvms it feels silly to spend hundreds on them

    I legit walked away from a 36 inch trinitron for 20 bucks at the thrift store. I just simply had no room or ability to transport but spotting it in the wild for that cheap was a thrill lol
