Best place to sell a used TV?

:confused: Does anyone know the best place to get a decent price for a used but perfectly functional colour TV? E-bay perhaps?:confused: Someone suggested Amazon but their methods seem a bit confusing.

  • Postage and Packaging could be a problem if you advertised it on eBay, you may have to make the item "local collection only".

    Do you have a local Ad-Mag? As far as I'm aware it's free to advertise in them. If not try your local newspaper maybe?

    Or if you cant sell it,maybe give it to your local hospital.
    We had to throw away a flat screen portable tv,the little lad next door didnt want it,because the on and off switch didn't work.all he had to do was switch it off at the mains !

    Very difficult to sell or even give away a second hand CRT tv these days, everyone wants a flat screen LCD or plasma.

    Have viewed your link and seems very promising, but how does it actually work? ie. is it a shop or something and do you sell it , or do they sell it? Plus what commision do they charge?.
    P.S. have you ever used them?
    Happy New Year by the way!:beer: :beer:

    Some kids eh!, there's no pleasing them, they don't want any hardship like flicking a switch off at the wall! Now when we were kids................
