The asking price for the bogus TV screen was $500, but when the victim couldn't come up with the money, the suspect settled for $300

It wasn't even a great price. I saw a 24" flat TV, about 4 to 6 inches deep, for $320 at SAM's less than an hour ago.

Reminds me of the bright yellow plastic portable TV I saw at the flea market today. Didn't have to read the label to know what decade that TV was made in!

Well don't look now, but there are TV's out that are Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse/Sponge Bob or Cinderella Themed in their exterior --- YUCK!!!!

Hmmm, when I called the phone number for warranty service, I was told that my new $100 "Magic Chef" flat screen TV just needed to have the brightness and volume controls fixed.

I probably shouldn't have sent the $200 warranty co-pay in cash.

Okay, just for the name alone, I want to be added to the Naked, Oily Man With Nunchucks ping list. :-P That's crazy.
