Anyone know how much these could cost?

[filpo]

We’re clearing out our other house and we’ve got some stuff we want to sell. One is a Sony tv with the model number KDL-40WD653 (though not very useful since I couldn’t find anything about the tv’s price itself anywhere). Specs are on this website (https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/6f0e459) and I’ve estimated that it should cost around €200 euros used. Anyone else got any thoughts?

 

EDIT: Got another one which couldn’t find the price of used (though I didn’t look too hard) and it’s model number is UE40ES8000Q, can’t find a specs page but here’s what it looks like (on the Italian site sorry couldn’t find it in English) https://www.samsung.com/it/support/model/UE40ES8000QXZT/

this should be a bit more than the other one as I’m quite sure it’s newer (though I have nothing to back it up)

It's a 40" 1080p TV that doesn't get particularly bright and doesn't do HDR.
 

If I were trying to get rid of it, I'd probably just be happy if someone takes it for free. But there is one listing on Ebay for 130€. I wouldn't buy it at that price though.

100 sound good? Or at least ok? I know it’s old (not really but just bad) but it still works fine

Regardless of the specifics of the panels, you gotta take into consideration it’s on paper a 40” 60hz 1080p tv. You can get new tvs with those specs for under $180 in the US, your region may vary.

I would probably list at 100 and drop to 80 if I just wanted it sold.

If you need the money, you can just insert it for $200 and see if someone bites. Then lower it until you get someone. But you will probably sell it to someone who doesn't know any better and gave you too much money for it.

 

If you don't need the money, I don't know if its worth going through the hassle and doing someone a favor by giving it away for cheap is also an added bonus!

And by extension you'll get a warranty with it.

 

You don't know how long your TV will actually still live. Especially after it had to be transported to its new owner.

$100 CAD would be my limit, personally.

 

You can get a new TV of the same size/resolution for under $200 CAD (on sale), slightly above if you don't want the bottom of the barrel offering.

we need to get rid of it and we need the money so I think we can go for ~$100/euros. What about the other one? I don't know if it's VA or IPS since I couldn't find a product page but about the same right? It's the same size, resolution and maybe brightness too, it's just a samsung instead of a sony

Don't know if there is a big difference between the two models, for someone buying them today. Also can't find any good info on the specs of the Samsung one. Technically you could market it as smart-tv, if that still works. Maybe people pay more for it then.

As a general rule for things like this, just work backwards from the information you know. If a new TV of similar specs is X amount, selling the EXACT same model used would net you 50-75% of that price. So now selling a used & much older TV, you're looking in the 30-50% range. (Demand and rarity are other factors, but they don't really apply in this situation.)
