Pre-February digital changeover panic underway on Craigslist!

I was browsing Craigslist in Los Angeles for TVs, and I was amazed to see so many NICE late-model, top-of-the-line TVs for sale dirt-cheap. Sony 40XBR800 (WEGA flat-tube 40") sets for $300, and 36" WEGA sets for $75 in mint condition, working fine. My wife bamboozled me into going to Hollywood on Saturday night, and buying an as-new 2005 Sony KV-36FS120 flat tube WEGA, with original $300 Sony base, manuals, and original remote for $180. Not a scratch on it, and it smells like new plastic. We put it in the family room to replace another KX-1901 that I had in there (that we never watched).

The couple selling the set thought they had the last laugh, I guess. They were headed out to buy a new digital set after we took the 36" off their hands.

I don't know how long this sell-off of NTSC sets will last, but now's a buyers' market!!!!!! (I also don't know why we needed another WEGA... Kay already had one she bought new before we were together, and we got a 40XBR800 last year on eBay, also dirt-cheap. It's been in the back room, and I think in the whole year, it's been turned on 3 or 4 times). I still like my KX-1901 Profeel in the kitchen, and my Zenith 25DC56.
