I'll admit that seeing that $50 broken 13" Philco does bring back some memories of when people, usually older women, would try to sell me their dead TV's for working TV prices. Such sets were usually consoles and when I told them I never paid more than $10 for a broken TV, I'd usually hear something like "I paid $700 for that TV and there's no way I'm going to give it to you for $10 just so you can turn around and make a killing off of it" or "There can't be much wrong with it since it won't come on" or "This is such a pretty cabinet that someone will give me a good price just for the cabinet". I finally got to the point where when someone tried to sell me a broken BPC set, I'd tell them that I wasn't interested because I could get more than I wanted at any given time for free.
