Oh my.....
 

This poor guy. He's gonna drop 200 bucks on a late 70s 10" toshiba blackstripe.

a fool and his money....

:jawdrop:

The guy whose selling it SERIOUSLY believes that it's one of the first color TV's?! Either that, or he's a weasel.

The buyer is a hipster that doesnt know how to handle money. Look at his other purchases, how many studded belts and huge buckles does one guy need?

It might be a better deal than what looks like a US$260 plastic hammer:

Then again, I have bought a few odd things on Ebay, too.

Shoot, the buyer is probably a friend of the sellers and he's tryng to get people to think it's worth something... Iv'e seen it before... Truely sad

I need that bidder to come see me. I wonder if he'd give me $200 for a 1977 19" RCA XL100 in working condition. You know, it was the first "large screen" color TV, LOL!! Seriously, that Toshiba is another one of those sets that you couldn't give to most people. One of the things that irritates me about ebay (well, selling in general) is that people will pay a fortune for something most of us would consider as low end junk. Yet, when a nice, restored item is placed on epay; it just sits there and does not sell.

Maybe the bidder just wanted to make a donation to the charity.

Hey, I had one of those in simulated wood!! One of the first, you say? Found it in the local trashpile, too. Damn shame how some people just scrap history!

Seriously, They ain't bad sets, but COME ON, surely the bidder knows its a run-of-the-mill plastic cube....

...

Ebay pulled the auction.

it's back
 

I reckon that Eames feller is more important than the Good Lord...EVVERTHAING that was made between 1900-2000 is somehow related to him...Reckon the Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergs & the Helicopter Guys know about this ? Where's my tinfoil hat...

I guess I'm showing my stupidity; but, I'd never heard of "Eames" until I got on ebay.

You must be a Coast To Coast AM listener. George Noory rules! Don't tell the New World Order I said that.

How about a Funai Symphonic for 1600 bucks.....or less? :sigh:
