Visited the thrift earlier today, took a few pics to show their craziness... (first pic is $24.24)

That's what they should be offering to haul them away.

Ignorant pricing. Apparently ran by idiots. Tvs here are dirt cheap or free. There were 3 36" sets a couple weeks ago for $15 each. I went back a few days ago and 2 of them sold. They actually sell quite well here if they're cheap enough.

That silver Sylvania with the DVD & VCR for $39.99 ~ We got one as a new
daily watcher, $15. I think off CL months ago..... Has a great picture !
After seeing it in action, I would get another - even for $40. But ours
is branded Magnavox, same look, same cabinet, same button layout.

Why...? $40. is cheap, it comes with a DVD and VCR that works pretty well.
if it lasts 5 years it costs less than $5/yr. vs. cable at $1400/yr (if you have it)
and as a flat CRT the picture is much, much better than I expected.....
If it lasts 9 years, then it will have outlasted the average flat panel....

It's actually a good time to buy a tv, if your into "watching tv" and not
so much expecting some kind of "Experience !"

Will they also sell some of that good kush they must be smoking, for those prices? Admittedly, the price on the flat CRT/VCR/DVD set is acceptable. On a slightly related tangent, I have recently seen people online asking insane prices for the little 13" or so TV/VCR combos (no DVD!) and I have no idea why.
