I posted a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV for sale a few weeks ago and sold it to a very patient board member. Link to original ad:

After DHL screwed me around for 10 days holding the TV and telling me they can't find it, they finally found it and gave it back to me telling me it is too large for them to ship.

I then had to search freight companies and all the ones I had lined up declined to ship once they found it it is a plasma TV.

Anyway, I am now resigned to hiring a private driver to take this TV down to the Southern California area. Since I have this guy driving down from Northern California to Southern I figured I would post this to see if anybody else in the Los Angeles/Orange County area wanted one of my other TV's. No tax! I have the following available:

1) Near-new condition Panasonic 50" Plasma HDTV - Model# TH-50PX50U - 2 hours of total use as confirmed by internal counter. HDMI input, NSTC/ASTC/QAM tuner + cablecard. Bought new in April 2006. Paid about $3,900, selling for $2,495.

2) Near-new condition Pioneer PDP-5040HD - 50" Plasma HDTV. Bought new in December 2005, I think about 400 hours total use. HDMI inputs, NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners. Paid $5k+, selling for $2,495.

3) Brand-new Panasonic 50" Plamsa HDTV - Model# TH-50PM50U. Identical to TH-50PX50U but no tuner, perfect if you are using cable box or satellite tv. Bought new in April 2006 and never even used it yet. Paid $3,499 + tax, selling for $2,495.

4) Basically new Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV - Model# TH-42PX6U. HDTV set, dual HDMI, built in NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner. 9th gen Panasonic panel. Bought a few weeks ago. Don't really want to sell this one, but have my eye on some other things so if it goes it goes. Selling for $1,695.

My guy is going to drive down either tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Payment is only due after you have received and seen the TV work, so no risk.

Let me know quick!! Thanks.

the last plasma i purchased was shipped by eagle global logistics.. they have a website, you may want to check them out.

 

I wish you would wait about a month!...gl with sale

 

Yeah, I once successfully used a freight company before as well. I called the same company up and they told me that for California -> California shipping a freight company needs to be specially licensed as a "mover", and that I would need to hire a moving company. If I ship out of California, or from another address outside California into California then no problem. Anybody ever heard of these wacky rules?!?

Michael, I'll take the 42". Just drive it over. thanks.

 

That would be one heck of a road trip!

 

michael, when is your guy leaving? i may take the 42 or even one of the 50's depending on space. i'm going to mount this above my 55 in the family room so i can play xbox360 and watch the game at the same time.

 

Mark,

I am going to have him leave either Wednesday morning or late tonight so he arrives early Wednesday morning.

Let me know, there is space!!

Yes, there are some left, but the trip to Southern California has aleady been completed.

What's left of these?

 

Actually, all but maybe the 42 inch. I had a few guys in So Cal interested but the timing was just too tight to bring any of the deals together.
