LED TV value?

[Jay5150]

I bought my 55" EX720 less than a year ago because HX925 was too expensive as were the Samsungs.

I am quite happy with the TV but then i recently went to the shops and saw the new models like the HX750 and 850 and got a mild case of upgraditis.

I just asked the salesman, "Boss, is there any value for my less than 1 year old EX720 in case I go for the new HX750 or 850 55"? "

He thought for a bit and quickly cured my upgraditis by saying, "Sir you may get maximum Rs. 10,000 for your "old" TV!

WTF? is this true? thats like a 90% depreciation

I know old electronics go cheap but in case I need a new TV I have to wait till my TV dies on me or I feel a suitable amount of time has passed till i feel I got my money's worth. Considering I paid over 1.5L for the TV, and my HT setup is a (slow) work in progress, that could be some time

The poor salesman must have been taught by his superiors.

Old TV = maximum 10k without going into any further details

No shop will pay more than 10% of the original value - actually much less than that. Shop exist to sell new ware and not old stuff. What will the shop do with the old TV?

One best bet is to sell to private parties.

One should buy a large screen TV with a lot of thought and promise to oneself that s/he will not look for an upgrade for at least 'x' years (decide your own 'x').
