borogirl asked in Consumer ElectronicsTVs · 1 decade ago

Where can I get a cheap, basic TV from, as mine has just about had its day?

I'm looking for a no-frills set, not plasma, LCD, or anything like that. A simple crt screen would be fine. Everywhere I look I see high-spec, high-priced TV's, but I'm not Working and money is very tight. I've asked on my local Freecycle site, but have received no replies. All I want is a TV that works. My absolute max budget is £100. I live in the Blackburn/Accrington area of Lancashire, if that helps.

Update:

Thanks, Carla, I've looked in my local charity shops, but they have nothing in at the moment. Accrington stores have them, but want to charge £15 for delivery, as I live in an isolated village.

Update 2:

Sarah, what is goodwills, I've not heard of that. We don't have a John Lewis, and I don't trust Ebay, especially as regards the delivery charges.

    the only places I've seen CRT screens in recently are either Argos, Asda or Tesco. on the Argos website it says you have a store in Accrington, and there's loads of tellys for under £100. Good luck!
