If you are looking for a deal on a new, go into Best Buy and look for an open box tv. They always have them. Especially during football season. Someone will buy a big tv because they are having a big game party, then return it.

I just looked at a Best Buy web page and couldn't believe how low prices are for a new TV. Is it because they are trying to unload them to make room for the newer models? I am now thinking I can afford a new one seeing as to how low the prices are. Thanks to all of you for your input.

That's what we were trying to tell you. There is no need to buy a used TV these days. The prices will get better the closer to Christmas you get. New models tend to come out after the CES in Las Vegas held in January.

TV prices have dropped an insane amount. A first generation 21" Sony HDTV back in 2001 (still a CRT type and not a flat panel) sold for $2400. Here we are 16 years later and you can easily find a 32" set that will blow that old Sony out of the water selling for a tick over $100.

Computers are largely the same way. My first PC cost about $2,000 and had less power, memory, and storage than my $69 tablet or my $80 smartphone.

If everything came down in price as much as modern electronics we'd all be rich. The combination of improved performance and dropping prices is pretty much unprecedented. Apply those same kind of improvements and price drops to food and we'd all be able to by Kobe beef for under a dollar a pound as opposed to the $14+ a pound you pay now. New cars would be selling for around $1,000. Houses would be so affordable everyone would buy two, maybe three. Sadly those kinds of price drops and improvements in performance only seem to happen in the electronics field.
