“Bought this brand new have original receipt”
That’s nice for you, that original receipt must be qute a comfort.
“worked perfectly until my grandson got over exicited on the wii and threw the remote at the screen.”
Grandsons, sons, mother-in-laws; it seems no-one’s immune to the joys of Nintendo’s toy for the masses.
Let’s face it, the wii’s not a videogame system, it’s a modern-day remake of the old funfair china-smashing stall; The test is to see how long you can go before you throw the remote at your tv.
Points should be awarded for how long you can last, coupled with artistic impression once the inevitable occurs.
Home insurance companies should charge a higher premium if you own a wii.
“Bought a new tv but have since been told its easy to repair costing around £120.”
How many times have people said this now? You’d think think people would cotton on, wouldn’t you?
“So this is a bargin with low by it now price & no reserve.”
“On 09-Jul-11 at 10:38:17 BST, seller added the following information:
Buy it now £125.00″
Oh yes, definitely a “bargin”. What about the “by it now price” though?

My word, someone’s been sitting on a backlog of broken TV listings recently, haven’t they?
You’re right about the insurance premium going up if you own a Wii. This should be MANDATORY behaviour for the insurance swindlers. I’m surprised they haven’t implemented it yet.
Statistically, idiots are more likely to break things than us ‘normal’ folk though.
They should make you take some form of intelligence test to help determine how much your insurance premiums will cost.
Granted, It’d be like a tax on stupidity, but we’d (hopefully) pay less for our coverage as a result?
If I were king, it’d be in my top 5 things to do first.
I forgot to add:
The last time I got over excited, I couldn’t even manage to BREAK a sweat.
See that?
I made a joke up, all off the cuff an’ everything.
I do that sometimes.
Bye
A backlog? Sadly, no. Just, when I’m pushed for time and need an update (or several in this case) there’s always broken TV screens out there for sale to fall back on.
Can’t always spare the time to go hunting for skulls, bizarre sexual devices or anatomically-shaped lighters, sorry. That’s what the SEND US YOUR BREAKAGES link is for.
There’s always mobile phones too, but TV’s are particularly reliable.
And they generally give a nice voyeuristic insight into what people’s living rooms look like. Mobiles tend to just have reflections of cameras or ceilings and are consequently less interesting.
If ‘interesting’ is the right word.
I’m really starting to see a great selling point for my old CRT.
Fucking hell, the seller likes red don’t they.
Oh…”higehr”
Its only a 46″ TV not 50″ seller must be an idiot, he’s probably thought he bought a 50″ in Dixons, poor guy
