Whoever has this page open keeps it fresh: their browser runs the search, with Cloudflare fetching the pages. A refresh (eBay's newest listings, Craigslist within 150 miles, ShopGoodwill nationwide and OfferUp) runs at most once an hour, and a full sweep of eBay's TV and vintage TV listings at most twice a day. A deal (the pink cards with a sticker) is at least 25% under what the same model sells or is listed for, and only counts as a deal when its delivered price is known: quoted shipping, or pickup nearby. Each time you open this page the eBay deals and shortlist are re-checked with eBay, and any that sold or ended are hidden. Market value comes from the tool's own price history: a listing that disappears counts as sold at its last price. Until a model has 3 such sales, it uses the cheaper end of what other sellers ask. Listings that say untested, as-is, burn-in, flicker, bowing, rolling, color problems or a slow warm-up are removed. Picture reputation is the brand's general standing for a sharp, stable picture: pro monitors (Sony PVM, JVC TM) first, then Sony Trinitron, then Panasonic, JVC, Toshiba and Sharp; later Magnavox, Emerson, Sylvania and Symphonic sets are mostly Funai-built budget sets. On top of that, specific models the retro-gaming community agrees on (at least two independent sources each) are marked as favourites or as having a known problem; hover a label for the details. A listing can't prove a tube's geometry, so a nearby pickup lets you see it running first, and eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a set that arrives dead or not as described. Free returns means the seller pays to ship it back (eBay listings only). Each set is graded Great, Good or Weak on the TV, proof it works (photos, a video, the seller saying it's shown powered on or what it was tested with), the seller, buyer protection and price; tap the grades to see why. The buy score (0–100) weighs all of those plus the selling site (eBay's Money Back Guarantee counts most, then cash sets you see running, then ShopGoodwill's no-returns sales); Best match sorts by it and the Top pick is the highest within your filters. Safe bets are great on the first three and at least fair on price; a deal also needs at least a good seller and protection. Totals are what checkout charges: the seller's default shipping service quoted to your zip, plus estimated sales tax for your state on eBay and ShopGoodwill sets (cash sales have none). When eBay quotes a cheaper service, the card mentions it, but it isn't counted, because checkout doesn't always offer it. Auction prices are the current bid.
