"Something that old is hard to come by..." Ho-Kay... Well, at least the CRT might still be good...but judging by the black streaks on the front, it may also have a jillion hours on it, too...

Cheap Masonite cabinets don't make very good Fish Tank holders!
$15.00 would be pushing it.

I replied to that seller in ask them a question on evilbay and he replied asking if I had a question or do I like to irritate people. Tee hee hee!
I replied:
No one is trying to irritate anyone as this ad has got the attention of several antique TV websites. These sets are very common and are commonly sold for $25(or less)at antique radio functions because no one wants to bring them back home with them. You really think it's worth $1500? With no disrespect intended, dream on! BTW, there is another on ebay currently nicer than yours for an opening of $25. It will get no bids unless it is close to someone who wants it.
There, I told him!!

Yep, you told him. And, why do these people get so uptight when someone with real knowledge tries to clue them in? Could it be that maybe the truth hurts?

I remember getting a flaming reply to a message I sent someone who had a $1500 Admiral console solid state stereo on CL. IMHO, when people pull insane crap like this, they are opening themselves wide open for whatever might come their way.

I often wonder how successful such sales techniques are. Perhaps some make alot of money with such strategies? Anybody know of such ways making some rich?

Sold for $15.50! I guess they got tired of getting eMails from all of us...

That must be the old auction where the buyer didn't pick it up. It's been relisted for $15,500.00
