Unless you are really proficient at fixing TVs I totally agree with Recycler. No one wants to buy a TV with a cracked screen, it cost more to fix than a new one. It's pretty easy to say it has a bad power supply and won't turn on (an easy fix) and sell it, then to disclose it has a cracked screen. You won't find out until you buy the replacement parts you have a total lemon.
Additionally, usually if the power supply is damaged, it is often caused by or results in damage to a secondary board like a buffer. You very well may have to replace 2 or 3 boards.
I'd also have a hard time buying from someone with SEVERAL TVs. Usually if one breaks, they replace it. When people have several large screen TVs it right away seems that they were trying to fix the TVs, which again is a whole new can of worms.
