Good price for a Samsung GX TV?

Doesn't @jobocan have one?  He had it photographed in his gamer room pics post...  Maybe you can see what he thinks?

Indeed I do have one. I paid 20$ for mine, though it didn't include the remote and manual.
My only negative about the TV is that it doesn't display the full screen on genesis games (not sure if there's any way to fix that... I will note that I'm plugged in with the RF connector), sometimes it's missing the life bar and such on some games. Everything else I've played on it looked amazing though, and the sound is great.

I don't think 50$ is a bad price, though I'd try dealing him down a little bit if I was you.

That's a pretty neat TV, I've never seen one before.  You can get a lot of TV for $50 these days though.  I decided I wanted a CRT television for my retro systems (also so my gun games work).  I did a TON of research online and decided to go for a Sony XBR.  They have tons of inputs, is capable of 1080i, and has that classic look.  They were VERY expensive 7-8 years ago, I picked up a 36" that weights over 200 lbs.  I watched my local classifieds for months and a few popped up but I wasn't willing to drive that far.  Finally one showed up and I grabbed it, I paid $40 for a TV that at one time costed close to $1600.  I can check my classifieds and find at any time 100+ tube televisions that are less than $40.  People can't hardly give them away at this point when LCD TVs start at around $300.

There's one of these on the Oklahoma City CL right now. I would pick it up just for fun but I have no need for it whatsoever.

Yeah, that's the one I went to look at, and I offered the guy 30 for it and he wouldn't budge at all. I tried to explain that its 2011 and he was trying to sell a 13 inch color television but he wasn't grasping that. Oh well, not like I NEEDED it...

darko:
@brettybluevein It's still on there so I doubt anyone needs it for $50.00. It's cool but for $50.00 you could buy something much nicer/bigger. I have a 27" Sony flat screen tube tvl that I've had for years (bought it new). It's supposedly one of the best tube TVs ever made. I saw one of them go for $40 not too long ago on CL.
