Secondhand TV - What's it worth?

HappyChappy84

I've just been offered a 32" LG flatscreen TV that is 3 years old. He bought a 5 year warranty with it so there is 2 years left to run and apparently the warranty is transferable.

The Model is 32LG3000, so, what's it worth? He wants £150 for it but I don't think it's worth that.

Easiest way to tell is to look in eBay at closed listings http://www.ebay.co.uk/csc/i.html?_nkw=32LG3000&_clu=2&_dlg=1&LH_PrefLoc=0&LH_Complete=1

You will see most sold for around £115 but a couple for as low as £25. Assuming he isnt going to be able to post it then it will somewhat depend on where you live. Live in central london with 5m people living within 15 miles and you'll get top money. Live in the highlands with 5 people within 15 miles and it will be bottom money.

Thanks.

He lives 3 doors up the street from me but he is moving back down to London and doesn't want to try and take it on the train. I'll offer him £110 and see what he says.

If the warranty aspect is going to sway you, first of all check the warranty can be reassigned to you. Many are not transferable and if you sell it before the warranty expires it is just lost unless you are tempted to come to some "arrangement" that he will still claim its his if anything goes wrong etc (but remember this is technically fraud)

The warranty doesn't bother me either way but he did say he checked with them and it is transferable. If it does break down and the warranty turns out not to be transferable then him and I will cross that bridge when it comes to it.

I'm going to have a look in John Lewis to see what I can get new for a little bit more money.:)
