When I replied that I wanted what he was smoking, he dropped it to 250.00...basicly told him he would never get it and offered 50 for it...I tend not to spend more than that for anything unrestored....he declined the offer, naturally. Told him to have it appraised and email me a copy

At least you got a reply! When I try to explain to people that the market for old TV's is very small and the value is way less then what they're asking...well..I rarely hear from them again!
