What is it with people and their cutesy ideas of avoiding stating where they actually are? This ding dong doesn't so much as indicate the zip code although he does give a general clue that he's somewhere near NY, NJ, PA
Newsflash, it's an important thing to disclose so other's can calculate shipping costs and time factor.

That 29JC20 is in great shape. The last one of these sets I ever saw in such great condition was one in our electronics lab in high school, 30+ years ago. We never used it, but I'd guess it was working fairly well--at least it looked that way from the front.
I can only guess from here, but judging from the fact that the set's channel selector is on channel 6, the seller may be in that part of New Jersey near Philadelphia. Philly's ABC affiliate is WPVI-TV, channel 6 (formerly WFIL-TV).
Anthony, I agree with you one hundred percent about some ebay sellers not giving their actual cities of residence, or at least a zip/postal code, when listing an item for bids. The argument that they don't want anyone finding out where they live doesn't hold water from where I sit; after all, as you said, if they don't provide at least their state or a zip/postal code, it is difficult, if not impossible, to figure shipping, delivery time, etc.--and it *is* impossible to mail or have the item delivered by a carrier, of course, if they don't have an address to send it to.
There may be a small town or even a suburb of a major city in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etc. named Lighthouse View, so the seller may not be trying to be funny after all. However, again I agree with you; he/she should have at least included a zip code with the listing. The post office or UPS, FedEx, etc. may be unfamiliar with the name of a city, town or what have you, but the zip code will allow at least the Postal Service to get a package to where it's going. If the zip includes the +4 numbers, the chances of the letter, package, etc. getting to its destination are even better.
