I have a dilemma -- I have a direct view Sony kv-32xbr75 that works perfectly. Has been serviced 3 times over its life (bought new 1992). Has every bell and whistle Sony made (incl. pic in pic). It needs a new home, but I would prefer to sell it rather than just donate it. How do I set a fair price for it when I cannot find any used for sale even on places like Ebay. I have a new 52" Sony xbr6 on order so I need to find a new home for my old one. Can anyone help me value a used Sony kv-32xbr75?

Thanks,
Gordon

Update: Salvation Army Guidelines say $75 to $225 for a working color TV. I have to think this would warrant $300 as a Fair Mkt Value for someone looking for a Larger direct-view picture-tube TV. Comments & feedback sincerely appreciated.

Donate it to the Salvation Army, have them write the receipt for $275.00 and use as a tax write off.

rob316,
I may have to donate it. Don't want to, but will if I have to.
Also found a web site call UsedPrice.com that provides all kinds of used price guidelines for household items, much like KBB for cars and trucks. We'll see.

I don't mean to burst your bubble but this is an NTSC only set. No hi-def and it is now 17 years old. Those old Sony's were great in their time, but they have been over taken by events. I honestly think you would be lucky to get $100 on Craiglist maybe even less these days. Depending on your tax bracket, etc, you are honestly probably better off donating and taking the deduction based on a $275 value.

If you decided to sell, to determine value don't get hung up on the "XBRness" of the set. Folks who know what an XBR is won't be shopping for a 17 year old NTSC set. At this point is a standard def 32" set, no more or less. Look at Ebay and CL for pricing on 32" sets and remember that at least on CL most of the ads you see that are more than a week old haven't sold and therefore are probably overpriced. I sold a much newer Sony V series 27" CRT last year for $55 as a point of reference.

Just my 2 cents probably worth less.

This is right. I have seen Wegas around $100 and that has component input.

I just bought one for that PiP and 1080i and 10 years newer

I would guess 50-60 is a fair price for a nonHD sony 32

Like Goodwill, I don't think Salvation Army will take and sell any analog CRTs. They automatically be handed over to e-waste recycling.
