Well, it looks like the 19" Zenith may be going into the spare TV pile. I advertised it for $30 with no takers. Then, I modified the ad a little (as seen on one of the facebook buy/sell pages):
"FS: 19" Zenith color TV in working condition - was $30, now $20 FIRM (I can't believe I'm selling a working color TV for $20 - I used to get more for 12" B&W sets). Located in Meridian and must be picked up at my residence."
Back in the mid '90's, I would have laughed at anyone who suggested that there would come a time that I couldn't even get a lousy $20 for a set like this (back then, I could have easily gotten $75-$100, maybe $125, for this set).
However, as we all know; people are a lot harder to please than they used to be. About a year ago, I tried to give a '93 RCA console to a "needy" person; but, she turned it down when she found out it was a console (I guess she was wanting a flatscreen). Hell, if I was needy, I'd be happy if someone gave me a 9" B&W. It also does not help that modern-day culture has pretty much programmed society to believe that they must constantly buy the latest things to be cool. Also, the price of new junk has come down to the point that nearly anyone who wants a new TV can get one (even if they have to finance it or get it from the "rent-a-rape" $9.99/week for 20 years store.
