How much is a used TV worth?
A used TV in good condition keeps about 26% of its original price at 3 years on this calculator's curve. If yours cost $800 new, that works out to roughly $150–$260 as a realistic asking range, with fair market around $210. Use the calculator above to adjust for your exact age, condition, and brand tier.
Why do TVs lose value so fast?
Because new TVs get cheaper and better every year. When a new panel generation ships at last year's price, every used TV reprices down a notch — this calculator's electronics curve is steepest for TVs for exactly that reason. Sell sooner rather than later; a TV never appreciates.
Is my old 1080p TV worth anything?
A little, if it works perfectly — think secondary-room money, not living-room money. Run the numbers above; older sets often land near this tool's floor, and once fair value is under $20, a free-stuff listing saves you the disposal trip.
Should I sell my TV before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 45 lb, moving a TV adds about $25–$35 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
