Back when I did the flea market I brought a few of the old vintage TV sets that were smaller to the market and a guy from Iowa bought all of them and asked if I had any more.
Now were talking the first B&W TV sets on up to the ones before they started making a more flat and square tube front.
I kept in touch with the guy and we set up for him to come and see what I had. He bought all I had which was almost 90 of them. I had been getting them for years before for nothing or less then a dollar at auctions as no one wanted them back then. Needless to say the guy ended up with a full sized dodge van full and a small trailer about 6 by 8 and we ended up having to tie a few on the roof of his van as the trailer would only hold so much weight.
He got his load of treasure and I came out very well.
I have many color CRT TV sets that are in working order that I use and save for use with vintage gaming systems and using for older video players and such. I also like the small and tiny portable sets even tho most of them are B&W, but they work well for the first TV games like PONG and such. I figured that if I was going to have the vintage gaming systems, just as well have the vintage devices for playing and seeing these vintage games.
I realize that most TV CRT sets these days are not worth much unless there is something collectable about them. Sometimes it takes many years before something from the past that was trash becomes the popular fads and trends.
I have made a good Living off of such a concept. TIME is money in many ways.
