Large lot of flatscreens

While selling on ebay, Should I just lot all the boards from the working tvs together or do you guys sell each set individually to someone hoping to fix the same tv? Because honestly, that seems like a ton of work.

Yea its a lot of work. Imagine if you had a broken tv and wanted to buy an inexpensive part that works. What do you want to see in the listing? I used the photo of the tv working with the broken screen. I had a photo of the back of the tv in close up so you could easily read the part number etc of the tv. I provided photos of the board front back and again close ups of the part numbers on the board as well.

I enjoy working on electronics, retired US Marine avionics/maintenance on helos. 30 year licensed ham radio operator, ke4ilg. I also sold used computer components on eBay along with the tv boards. So yea there is a lot involved but there is a much greater profit per board or component selling on eBay. Then again instead of doing that if you can acquire more material, break it down and ship to a buyer then likely this will produce the most dollars in your pocket.

You are the only one who can decide for you which way you should go. 73, Mike

Definitely sell individual lots on TV boards. The money is in the main boards. Power boards are the next ones, followed by the T-con boards. I sold a main board from a TV a while back for $240 used. A few of those sales and you're doing very well. With the direction TV's are moving, they're starting to phase out the T-Con boards (making them so they're not replaceable). I do see the demand for TV boards dropping quite a bit on the smaller units, but 50"+ units are still a decent amount to buy new. One of the thing's you'll need to learn if you don't know already is reading DC pinouts on boards with a volt meter. In the event that you can't get a unit to turn on, you can at least test the power board with a test points to see if at least one board can be salvaged.
