Not me. They had them inside for those prices but when they didnt sell, they stacked them out back by the dumpster. I just picked them up since they were there. I w for a set unless its really nice, unusual, or rare. Storage right now isn't a problem since i now have a decent size warehouse.

Other people can collect whatever they want... but personally, I would never waste precious storage space on a Black Plastic Commodity. That's what makes it real easy to decide what's worth saving (for me). Once sets sold simply on the basis of price, how do you care? Then it's like collecting bars of no-brand soap.

I think a last-gasp, high feature, real Zenith set (Circa 1990-ish) is about the end of the road for me. I think an early flat-screen, LCD handheld or 16:9 CRT could be interesting, so I'm not an anti-tech snob.

Space is not a problem for me. Unless i end up with a couple hundred of these. I usually don't bother with these. I passed up a silver 27" the other day. looked like something from around 2000. these black sets i have will most likely end up harvested for parts, etc. 89,-90 is usually my cutoff date. I do have a couple around 92 or something like that. Usually i don't pass 90 unless its a floor model.
