I just bought a 40+ inch HDTV (older model) from a cac in a nearby neighborhood. I paid a very small fraction of the value of the TV. No problems with the transaction. Looking back, I guess I was naive, but the dude was cool and it didn't take long to get the TV and bounce. I ended up having to replace the lamp (~$30) and the TV display is now like new. All together less than $100 for the TV (and part). Not bad for 40+ inch 1080i TV with HDMI. I'm a woman and I went alone during the day. Thinking back it could have gone left, but thank G-d, it was all good.
