I recently had a nice '84 Zenith console that I tried to sell for $30, then for $20, and then for $15. After I got tired of looking at it and listening to all the idiot callers who expected to get a new TV for $15 with them not even knowing what a "floor model" TV was, I gave it to a friend who sells second-hand stuff. He got lucky and someone happened to come by his sale who wanted a console TV; so, he sold it to them for $25. Since then, I've turned down two console TV's that I could have gotten for free; but, I have no room to keep them and I'd likely be stuck with them.
If you see something that you like and the price seems fair; then, go for it. However, don't get too hasty to fork over money for '70's and newer TV's. If you do some looking and get the word out, people will be more than happy to give them to you in order to get them out of the way.

Where I'm at, the entire east coast seems real dry on late 60's thru mid 70's full size color sets. sets from the 80's? cl is flooded with good working models for free. Either that or their earlier black and whites
