How do you find out if the TV is legit?

if it's not HD, it's not worth $200 anymore. *I just gave away a 53"
projector. *Didn't want to move the silly heavy thing again. *Can buy a

I did keep the DTV converter box though just in case I need it someday.

"Old TVs just ain't worth it anymore"

I don't know...

The $15 garage sale 19" "almost-had-tubes" model that I had in my
basement died after many years of faithful service.

I looked on Craigs list and found a 21" flat screen Sony for $40
dollars. I planned to offer the guy $30, but when I went over to look
at it, I found a young-20's couple sitting on the floor of their
apartment making up the name cards for their upcoming wedding. They
certainly didn't look rich, so I considered the extra 10 bucks to be a
wedding gift and gave him the full $40.

I figured any guy that was stuck tying ribbons around little packages
of almonds on a Satruday afternoon deserved the cash.

Anyway, the "old TV" is in great shape and well worth the $40, at
least to me.
