The 2,500 value was already my conversion to dollars... in Brazilian money the value is 5,000 reais, which, when converted, is more or less 2,500 dollars...obviously the seller is asking that incredible amount of money based on the rarity of such a TV set here in this country, and didn't even consider the poor condition of the set. But people are not silly, at least the TV collectors I know.Probably this TV won´t sell, not for what the seller is asking for, anyway. The biggest collector here, a guy who accumulated 700 vintage TV sets since the mid 80's, has some 11 or 12 round tube TVs, and he got all of them in the good old days when people were still giving them for free or selling for almost nothing! Back in the 80's, people here didn't value vintage TVs. Since I was born in 77, I entered this hobby too late.
