Christ, that TV is worth like $2500 used
I just made a comment about a guy I know looking for this.
He’d pay more than that. He’s got the whole set of these for whatever reason.
He’s too young for it to have any nostalgic value lol.
Ebay has one new in box for like $6500
Hey I’ll let him know. Thank you.
I don’t get why he wants it buuuut haha.
that might be the novelty value of it but I doubt it cost much when it was new.
I don’t think anyone was arguing that…
It was a limited edition promo release, so it’s definitely a collectable now.
Also as CRTs become more and more rare as more of them die off and new ones typically aren’t manufactured anymore, it’s not surprising that the prices are just skyrocketing lol
For some reason I find it weird that Shrek coincided with CRTs. Not sure if it’s because I tend to think of Shrek as being more recent than he is, or that I think CRTs stopped being used earlier…
I think it’s because CRTs seem like such a thing from the 80s, and Shrek is more recent than that, but Shrek and CRTs were both fairly common in the early 2000s.
They’re not really rare. For example, here in Brazil, it’s just a common thing in houses to have an old crt lying around, sometimes, still in use. People sell them for really cheap, or just give them away (since they’re heavy, a lot of people will gladly give you one, or two, for free if you simply go there to take it). Even in a country where crts are rare, a collector could simply import one from a place where it costs almost nothing.
Crts may be old, but they were manufactured in millions, making them not really valuable, because they’re not rare. Same goes for things like floppy disks or coins from periods of huge inflation. It will take a loooong time until we see crt prices skyrocketing due to scarcity. Prices may have gone up a little in some places, but not that much.
As for the shrek one, like people said, it’s because it was a limited model.
It’s all ogre now
Yo dog, I’ve heard you like trolls so I put a troll in your troll TV.
Slight correction
That actually works better.
The world events keep coming and they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop coming.
I know a guy actively searching for this tv right now and he’d pay a small fortune.
I wish him luck 🫡 this is a stolen meme
PUTIN, GET OUT OF MY SWAMP!
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin, the water’s getting warm so you might as well swim, my world’s on fire, how about yours?
It’s the world rolling you yet?
I’m not sure. I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed, see… 🤷
I wanna say I saw this meme four years ago. Love it
unironically thought about getting a SpongeBob TV like this to replace my busted one. it was $20 new, but i didn’t have enough room to set it up. those things have a really thick back.
