Big Screen Bargain!

Last Thursday I was sat alone (aaah) watching TV, when it started to flicker, then make a strange fizzing noise. The screen went blank, and I could smell hot, smoldering plastic. The TV had died! So what did I do? I surfed the internet instead!! Well, actually I decided to look up information on the internet about new TVs. Too expensive…let’s go to ebay. Isn’t ebay fantastic?? You can buy anything you can think of! Seriously addictive! My de-funked TV had been third-hand, with a 19” screen, and was looking a little worn, and a non-working remote control. I guess it was time for a change really. I realised that people were now buying huge, flat screen, LCD HD ready TVs, and selling of TVs that were already way ahead of the one I had been used to. Being a large item, I had to select products within my area that I would be able to collect. There was quite a selection of 28” TVs. I went to Beverley on Saturday and had a browse in the 2^nd hand furniture shop. They had a nice looking Sony Trinitron 28” wide-screen TV for £150. Not bad, you might say! Well, last night I won the highest bid on just such a TV which was being sold by someone in the next village to where I work. My winning bid was…….£33 !! I LOVE a bargain. Yipeeeeeeeeeee.
