Should I grab this TV?

[Captain Video]

Turns out that the guy thinks that TV is really worth a lot of money, even with a broken CRT. He is a real fool. 50's TV sets are rare here, but I was able to grab the ones I have in very good deals. The one I paid the most is for the 1956 Philco console seen in the photos. It is complete, even produced a raster one time I plugged it, it's only faults are just a few missing tubes. That is a very difficult to find set here, if someone asked US$ 500,00 for it would be asking a fair price; I paid US$ 225,00 . Now, the guy wanted some money for that 57 with the broke CRT; I talked to someone with a lot more experience than me on this hobby, and he said to offer US$ 50,00 - not one cent more. I made the offer, and the guy refused, he said it's too little money. I believe I was being VERY generous offering US$ 50,00 for that, even more so because in my present financial condition, US$ 50,00 is one amount that can make some difference. Let he stay with that TV. If he thinks that someone will appear, offering good money for a set in that condition, he is in for a very unpleasant surprise.
