    worth 5-10 dollars ea
    variances in price can be for the folloeing reasons

    cracked screens
    no stands

    if you can do any soldering there is good monry to be made in repairs. Lots of time it is blown capicator and only a .50 cent part. I have a shop here who repairs the nicer lookong ones for a 10 dollar fee and resell for 40-60 ea. Good working units with cracked screens you can tear apart and sell power supply and main board on ebay for decent money.

    if you are in the Ohio area AIM (affinity information management) is a good source to sell these.

    power on and blink is the classic sign of bad caps. Worst case scenario you know the power supply board is good so you can put that on ebay

    If the screen is not broken...they are worth money. Its all based on size...the bigger the screen the more its worth. I will pay far more than $9.00
