[qtnguyen87]

Well i wanted to share something here.....I was browsing craigslist and found a guy selling a 40" Sony Bravia LCD 1080P......it was broken...welll the LCD was displaying ghosting images so he wanted to get rid of it. I offered $100 and he said OK and i replied well how does $60 sound, he says $50 is fine so i drove at 12am to go pick it up asap. Got it to the house fixed the ghosting within 20 minutes and i got myself an almost brand new looking 40" Sony Bravia LCD for $50!!! Thanks CRaigslist!

A quick google seach has suggested that ghosting can be fixed using a hidden technician menu. This seems possible.

I don't understand this part

I offered $100 and he said OK and i replied well how does $60 sound, he says $50 is fine

OP offered $100 then lowballed it to $60 and the seller wanted to sell it at $50? Hey OP, do you have the seller phone number? I want to buy his house, LOL.

Craigslist is sucking around here. I need to move to big cities such as Dallas or Houston.

This thread sucks.

And here I thought the ghosting fix was going to be an exorcism!

 

[Tristicus]

Damn I wish I could get a deal like that.

 

[richardycc]

that guy is probably rich, and probably bought a new TV already and glad to get rid of the old TV.

 

[weadjust]

Tell me what you did to fix it. I have a 52" Sony that occasionally has a ghosting issue. the ghosting started after a transformer blew up on the street and caused an electrical outage. The TV was under extended warranty from Sam's Club. I called them and told them the problem and they just sent me a new tv with better specs than the original. I still have the old TV stored in my walk in closet.

Don't try Craigslist in Seattle. Sucks ass. Everyone prices their shit at prices you would pay at Best Buy. (Ass rape)
