For sure, the price is way over the top for a common small Sony portable color set, but there are a couple of uncommon sets that might deserve such a high asking price.

For example, the very early KV-7010 apparently was only imported to a few stores in New York, and is very desirable to Sony collectors... The KVX-370, which uses a beam index CRT is also quite rare and desirable.

OTOH, 10 bucks in my opinion, would be a bargain for a common small Sony... Would be worth it even just as a parts set. $25 to $100 is a decent range for the 4 inch to 9 sets, with the 4 inch and 8 inch at the high end, or perhaps exceeding that range.

Note to Zeno, I'll take all the mint KV 8000s you can find for 10 bucks!

It seems like the small tv's are rising on ebay real fast, don't know why. A KV-9300 just sold for $300. only on ebay one day. I'd like to find a nice sony TV-760 but I'm not going to pay $200. like the one on ebay.
