    It's only a list of places you supposedly buy one cheaply from op. Don't do it.

  • Looks to be a wholesale list for sale and not a tv.

    Its just a list of wholesalers - not the actual TV for sale. Don't buy it - and find a TV from a repuatable UK seller.

    I see they've got a few other things listed, including a 47" plasma tv. Cant imagine anyone would think that they're going to get one of those delivered from USA for under £57. But people are actually buying.

    I bet the seller is rolling on the floor.

    Congrats knight, but you might want to take that number down, 'else it might give away your ebay id.

    Also US TVs are IIRC on a different transmitting system from ours (ATSC vs PAL/DVB - there is a map at the bottom of the DVB page showing which regions use which TV format) and so probably wouldn't work on our system at all.

    Buying a TV from the US is useless as well as expensive, even with the move to digital rather than analogue TV.

    @Suited - no-one can see his ID so he's quite safe.
