Yes. Are you trading with somebody? Or is this an exchange through a retail company?
My tv is $400, and it's a Samsung 42" 600hz 720p plasma.

Just found a deal on craigslist for the tv. I keep my old tv, probably just will give it to my mom. Im just worried about warranty issues, and the tv is in chilliwack, so its a far drive for a tv that might be garbage.

Which model is it and how old is the TV? Warranty is a huge thing when it comes to these TVs.

Lg 42ld520. Its 729.99 at bestbuy. I went in and checked one out today. The tv is apparently brand new without box. He says original plastic is still on it. Not too sure how warranty works with these.

Depends where it's bought, warranty can be transferred over. If it was originall purchased.
Seems like a good deal. That tv is good. Although, the fact that it's 1080 says nothing. It's needs to be calibrated correctly to show proper resolution.
Nonetheless it's worth checking out Posted via RS Mobile | |

For $400? sure. It's practically disposable at that price. Just check it out make sure it works and doesn't have dead pixels.

Picked up both tvs, one broke but the guy exchanged it. Mine is working great. I got an lg 42ld630 instead of the 42ld520.
Sold my old tv for $250. So i pretty much paid $150 for a big upgrade  | |
