Check this moron out - Videokarma.org TV - Video

Folks, I thought I have seen it all but check out this FARTHEAD MORON on ebay:
It is also in very poor condition and very misrepresented.
I've tried to report this on ebay using "report this listing" and this is impossible saying "additional info invalid".
Ad shows two different TVs (One color set looking like a pasted pic from a museum page)
Showing shipping by post office which is also impossible.

Title on ebay: "1939 Tv"

from: raddicalrides (407)
100% positive

How could he have 100% positive feedback??

Perhaps it has a solid gold chassis with platinum solder joints, diamond encrusted control knobs, and ivory legs?

OR, he's REALLY price gouging!

407 positive feedbacks on 2 items sold? Run away! Run away! Smells like some sort of money laundering to me.

Smells like something foul and I'm not sure it was laundered.

You can "contact seller" and tell him he is a moron. I frequently see things overpriced on Ebay. Then you see the same item next to it with a realistic price.

Says shipping via USPS Ground Advantage. I can only imagine!

The listing's second picture appears to be a CTC-5. Now, -that- set could be worth $600 in nice condition (but not $6,000!). The first picture shows a $6.00 set, it appears. Maybe even $60?

Oh, but regarding the feedback: This member may have sold two items and bought 405 items.

The set in the first picture does NOT match the one in the second, more evidence of fraud.

The first set is rectangular and the second is round.

julianburke · #12 01-26-2025, 01:11 PM

I already have. Also told him not to reply to my message as I already know he is a farthead,

You cannot ship that set USPS anyway.

What a BS'er, that 55 Philco in the first picture looked horrible.
Then to compare it to an RCA 5?

Look the seller is a few short of a 6-pack and we know that, he's going to be sitting on that thing until hell freezes over and declares a winter storm warning. I've already messaged him/her (whoever it is) on their inaccuracies and the fact we didn't have those "square" style picture tubes until after the war... I have yet to receive a response so until then lets party on and make fun of them.
