Only if you really like them, I see about $25 worth there.

No, not worth it IMHO. I think $25 would be a generous price. I don't know what it is; but, it seems like that when someone finds a TV in a colored plastic case, they think it's worth a fortune.

Well, he'll likely be finding out that his price is too high when he still has the TV's 5 years from now.
Currently, there is a orange/yellow 13" Toshiba color set from the mid-late '70's at the flea market and the guy wants $75 for it. It's been there for months and it will likely be there for a few more months. Around here, he'd be lucky to get $10 for the set. At another flea market, there is a white 13" Teknika color set from around '76 and the 80 year old woman who owns it thinks it's worth $75 and won't budge on the price. In this hobby, it's a given that we're going to run into flakes who think their stuff is worth a fortune and all we can do is walk away. I know it can be irritating when someone has something you'd like to have; but, they want too much money for it. However, no need in getting mad. They'll either lower the price or keep the set.

I think the internet and all of the "very informative" TV shows has a lot to do with it. Those shows on TV feature "know it all" dealers who portray anything old to be worth a fortune. I just tell them that if it's worth that much on "American Pickers"; then, they had better get in touch with them and sell it to them.

Those little colorful sets were popular for a while but i think the Digital changeover killed off a lot of the interest. Not many people want to deal with the hassle of setting up a converter box for a small kitchen set.

The 9" Zenith is a nice set but probably the most common of its era. The Toshiba is a pissah color & rare but still not worth much IMHO. 73 Zeno
