So a while back I re-read through the MMM archives and re-discovered all the stupid luxury crap habits I've let myself slip into since moving out of my parents' and getting out on my own.
My first thought was, I'm gonna sell my new/financed car for an older model. A bunch of mustachians jumped in and reminded me that my car is actually pretty sensible and that I was kinda jumping the gun. Thanks for that.
However, unlike my car, I don't need my TV. Again, I got a pretty good deal on some luxury crap I don't need; a beautiful curved(!) 4K Samsung LCD for just over $1000, I think refurbished.
I barely watch any TV and don't have cable, so it was more for entertaining friends when they come over; and when they do I find myself a little embarrassed for falling into the "But Of Course I Need A Nice TV" trap. So ostensibly this TV is not making me happier, and I wouldn't buy it again.
If possible, I'd like to liquidate it and put it towards my car loan, and my next TV will probably be from Craigslist.
Has anyone here successfully and safely sold their TV for at least a good portion of what it's worth, and if so, how? Did you have to wait a long time or compromise a lot on the price? It seems like TVs are terrible at retaining their value. Is this even a good idea?
