Over 300 posts and still no interest...? Id have thought that with so many people checking this out some more would have come forward.
I had one offer in the works and that fell through. So I wanted to elaborate a bit more and make my absolute final price drop.
You will find the 50H81 selling for $1500 - $2000. However, most of the lower priced units are refurbs and only come with 90 day warranties. If you choose to purchase their extended warranty plans you will pay an additional $150 on average. So if you were to purchase the least expensive one with it's 2 year warranty you would pay a minimum of $1650.
I have however had less luck finding any used 50h81s in general, let alone at prices under $1000. But assuming you find used 50H81s for $600-$1000, you have to take into account many factors. What condition is it in (visual blemishes, electronic issues, etc.), how long it has been in use and the environment it was used in, Any repairs it may have had and of what nature, warranty period remaining on the unit, etc.
My 50H81 has been coddled. I have no children or pets and a non smoking home theater and obsesively take care of the condition of the TV and it is in pretty much perfect condition. The TV has been in use for 1 year and eight months and has never had or needed a repair or service of any kind. And best of all, there is still an inhome BestBuy service warranty left on the TV that does not expire until 10/19/05. I severly doubt you will find a 50H81 in this condition and with this warranty coverage anywhere for anything near under $1000.
All that being said, my asking price of $1400 is extremely fair for this TV.
However, I would be willing to go as low as $1350. But this is the lowest that I would be willing to go.
With all things considered, and the TV in the condition it is in, I am already losing out by agreeing to sell the TV as low as $1350, and it would be simply foolish to go any lower. This is handsdown the BEST deal you will find.
All things being considered.
