    Anyone have a good site where I can find a value on a old big screen I still have laying around? I have found a couple sites that actually want me to pay to reveal the value.... It is an RCA 52 inch D52W20 from 2004.

    As well, if any clutchfan is interested I will give you a good deal. I am not using it and have since upgraded. It is currently located just a little outside The Woodlands and is definitely and a little bulky and probably about 150 pounds give or take.

    Thanks,

    I had an old 65" Mitsubishi DLP rear projection that I had to give away.

    Nobody wants to pay for an old big ass TV. You'll be lucky to get anything. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but good luck.

    You don't want to find a service that assesses value, you want to see the true price point. So look at eBay and use the ended auctions filter. I wouldn't expect more than $50 for that TV, if its HD. If not then you're better off paying someone $50 to lug it away.

    150lb behemoth from 2004? I imagine you'd have to pay someone to take that off your hands, and no one will buy it from you. You don't know how many times I've seen those TVs in the alley behind my house with a sign that says "i still work, take me for free"

    they always end up in the garbage truck.

    It's better to put a sign that says "I work, take me home 4 free."

    http://www.amazon.com/RCA-D52W20-52-Theaterwide-HDTV-Ready/dp/B00006JBK5 ???

    A place like a bar, or somewhere where someone has lots of room to place this huge monster (that's what SHE said) could use it. :eek:

    I'd list it on Craigslist and expect people to offer $150 to $300 for it. I got rid of a Hitachi 53" RGB LCD from 1999 about 6 years ago and got $300.

    I used to own the same TV. No one wanted to buy it, I gave it to my Dad to put in the house he has on some land in Teague Texas.

    Well good thing the market for TVs hasn't changed at all since 2006!

    I have a similar tv and I just decided to store it in my attic so I can roll it out and use it on Sundays next year. Red Zone channel, baby!

    I do like it as a secondary TV. The picture is not bad. I guess now that I think about it, it makes sense there is very little market for something like that. I originally thought I would get $100-$200. I may try craigslist but I may just keep it as well. Thanks for the help guys.
