Guy wants $50 for PLTV-3250 (no picture, no sound)

More than likely another power supply issue.

Here is the repair kit:

I low-balled him at $5, and he came back with
"$50 or no deal".

I think $50 is a bit steep though......

I usually wont go above 40 for a 32". This one isnt even a name brand and is 720p. Does he have the remote, stand and other accessories? Maybe you can bargain him down if hes missing any of these.

For $40 it should be worth the time.

BTW that repair kit is $25, but the parts in it are worth around 5 dollars from mouser (12 or so with shipping). So depending on how big of a rush you are, might save a bit getting them from mouser / digikey.

Plenty of fish in the sea, I've turned down people who want too much for faulty TVs before. £120 for a Panasonic 42" 720p plasma, for example.

Ok, so what's the most I should pay for this one?

Ahh!! That's the first I've heard of that
rule of thumb.

Sounds good to me, thanks for the feedback......

LoL is toms rule like .6 pounds per inch? Im surprised he has such a round number for USD, and not a round number for GBP.

I dont think an even scale of 1 dollar per inch is a great deal, as you can make a killing if you sell a fixed 60 inch. 3x as much per inch then youd make selling a 32" that is fixed.

But his values arent that far off from mine which are around
32" - $40
37/40 - $55-60
42 - $70

Thes are the max prices id pay for one with all the accessories and a problem with a very high chance of succesful repair. Obviously i try to bargain people down a little bit. If someone offers me a broken 42" for $20 though im not gonna bargain them down further though lol.

Nah, it's £30 for a 32 inch here, I shouldn't have rounded it to USD so easily.

For a 40" Full HD I just paid £40. I got a 42" Full HD for £50, but that included a nice glass stand and powered up fine, just with mura (which was easily fixed.)
