Trying to sell two televisions

Question

I am helping a friend sell two tvs. A place that can help sell old items and a pawn shop said they could buy them for $15.00 each. My friend told me he wants to start selling them at $50,00 each, and maybe go down in $5 or $10 increments each week or every other week. Is that a good idea? I understand you want to start out high, but it might be too high. I know one is a 1993 LXI 25 inch with remote. I think he should try it for one week at each of them being $50.00 just to see if somebody might buy it. I think he should either try one at $30 or two for $50. How about 1 for 30 or two for $45? and they would have to buy both to get the $45.00 deal (kinda like buy one get one at half off). Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You will be hard pressed to get more than $25 for each unitl

I say take them to the pawn shop and save the time and money.

Answer 2

These TV's are way to old to sell for that price considering they are just going to have to get a box for them. $50 for both and take $40 is Okay if it works, but in the end they cost money to get rid of them so take what you get.

O yeah and you can but a brand new 25inch for $160 with the digital box already in it so think about that.

Answer 3

Tell your friend they will be obsolete so soon he's lucky to get anything at all for them, so don't be picky.
