TVs don't hold their value well at all. I paid $2500 for my JS9000 55'' Samsung in 2015 and I bet I couldn't get $400 for it now. my TV was one away from the most expensive model Samsung had that year and it's better than the vast majority of TVs on the market even today but somebody will look at it then say "I can get a 55'' TV brand new for $400 so why would I pay you that?"Damn it is really scary how quick time is flying in Life. It feels like yesterday I bought this tv
Somebody would do the same to you. Look at your 43'' TV then see Best Buy selling TVs at that size for $300 and not wanna pay you close to that.
Can you blame them? A new TV comes with a fresh manufactures warranty behind it for a year and at least a few weeks return policy. Used TVs don't offer either.
