Hmmnnn.... IMOP Something doesn't look right. Way too many TV's for sale in one place. I'd be suspicious as to where they all came from (as in stolen). Maybe it's a repair shop that didn't do repairs on them for one reason or another, doesn't say they all work.

one board is good for my old idea of user serviceable tv.s . like a board in a cartridge . service exchange cartridges .
as for current old tv prices i sell for about £30 4 weeks guarantee . i get free ones to repair as not worth it to owner . if it costs more than a tenner to fix its a parts one .

well unfortunately in the USA tvs have no little to no value at all.

repairing them just doesnt make econmic sense..unless the repair costsx less then $20 usd max i would say

i definitely would not spend more than $20 usd to repair a tv that is only worth $25 when fixed..not worth the time for $5

just a matter of time and there will be no tv repair shops where live..there is no way they will be able to stay in business ...its sad but tv repair is unfortunately just a hobby now and can not be a viable business since almost everyone just tosses their tv in trash a buys a new one...cheaper than repair cost.

I did Radio & TV Servicing at a local college more years ago than I wish to remember and one thing that was said around that time was that there was no future in servicing.
There may not be as many repair shops as there were then but servicing still goes on.

Im referring to usa

There are are few to no repair shops anymore in usa

There is 1 tv repair shop where i live but they dont really repair tvs anymore...they repair iphones ipads macbooks.

Here in usa tvs are now considered a disposable product.

You can't blame the manufactures entirely, a LOT of repair shops over the years have just charged too much money to repair a tv so people just naturally assume and are right, specially now since they ARE so cheap, that's it's cheaper to buy new than have the old one fixed. I myself OR anyone that I have known has ever gotten an estimate that wasn't at least half the cost of a new tv and sometimes even more than a new one costs. I think the manufactures picked up on this trend a long time ago and naturally used it to their advantage.
