    OP - what is your point regarding feedback? I think I've missed something!

    no, i am not a seller on ebay. i wouldnt mind the tv at that price, though going all that way to pick it up would be tricky!

    There's always loads of widescreen CRT's showing cheap on ebay, as most people upgrade to flat panels, and the value of CRT's is no more than the petrol to take them to the tip.

    most people start their auctions at 99p as you dont have to pay for the listing and also your first pic is free and as there are 7 days left there is no way this will go cheap xx

    Dont wish to upset anyone but these TVs are not worth anything any more, i couldnt sell my old one for £25 so ended up giving it to an older relative.

    It has days left and will probably go for a bit over 20 quid if that

    These TVs are not worthless at all. Yes a lot of people want flat screen but not everyone can afford those so bulkier TVs still have a market. I work for a charity and we sell 10 to 20 of these type per week so people are still buying them

    His feedback is fine, nothing at all to worry about. It worries me that people with 100% record are still considered to possibly be dodgy. What more can a seller do but keep a good record?
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    I bought one for 99p of Ebay last month 28 inch toshiba with subwoofer built into the glass fronted stand it came with

    - it was on the way to where my son lives so didnt have any fuel costs either - felt a bit bad giving the seller a pound coin for the tv and stand as I loaded it into my car - but at least I declined the change !!!!!

    he is asking for trouble though..saying i am willing to accept PP and collection!
    I know we have to have PP on a listing but to then emphasise it is not the best option.

    Hiya, what's the problem with emphasising PayPal or cash on collection? I do it all the time on my listings, making the terms of sale crystal clear.
    Confused :huh:
    Cut price signatures.
