Turns out we’re selling our old TV’s at a higher rate than normal this month – perhaps in anticipation for the new range of TV’s coming soon from all the big brands. Gumtree has seen a 16% increase in TV listings in the past month.
There’s actually some pretty good bargains out there too. I found one TV being sold by a bloke whose relationship had broken up – and the TV wouldn’t fit in the car. Go Figure!
Of the 6,000 odd TV’s for sale on Gumtree, one in three are HD, only 10% or less are 3D capable, and even more interestingly there are just under 10% listed that are brand new – retailers clearing stock perhaps?
When it comes to brands, Samsung dominates the after market just as it does the brand new retail space – over 1000 Samsung’s are listed, followed by LG and Sony.
Gumtree spokesperson, Niki Hennessy, said: “We’re seeing particular retail moments really impact the number of listings online. In fact, listings for TVs jumped 16% from February to March alone and a further 46% since this time last year.”
Are you in the market for a new TV? What will you do with the old one?
