Default Re: Why it's so hard to convert purchased "stuff" back into cash

I put a big hard drive magnet on top of a TV. I knew magnets were bad for computers, but I honestly had no idea it would harm a TV, though everyone else in my life was aware. I DeGaussed the TV, and color was weirded out. I sold it at a garage sale for $1, with a large sign "Funky Color." It saved me the $12 disposal fee for monitors and TVs.

A little off topic, but I felt I came out $13 bucks ahead. Of course, if I hadn't been a goober to start with........it's a good thing we buy the lowest end cheapo TVs.
