So I gave up TV and posted this http://www.amazon.co... Touch of Color TV for sale. I asked for $1200. Someone offered to swap a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 500gb hd and 2.45 memory core dual 2 processor. I like the thought of downsizing and mobility. And if I watch something its on the computer. Is this a fair trade? Should I ask for anything else? I am strongly considering

Why did you give up TV?

Your TV is a 2009 or 2010 model, you can easily find brand new 55 plasmas with 3D and better specs for $1200. I'd say your TV is worth 5 or 6 hundred bucks, which I guess seems reasonable for a 2 year old mac book. It is tough with how fast technology changes, but I'd assume Mac holds its value longer then a PC.

This is about right. Both devices are about the same age, and neither are worth $1200 as that is their value when they are new.

 

Fair trade. Or fair enough trade, at least.

Yep, yocash old do depreciation research on the MacBook, but on the face of it, I'd say that it's probably a good swap (you'll also stay out of paying taxes, as if Malloy needs more of our money to piss away). The prices on teevees have come down LOTS. For what I paid 900 clams for a 40" in 2009 you can now get better specs for like 600.

 

We cut the cord for cable/sat ~20 years ago now and do antenna-only free teevee, heavily PBS, and since we upgraded with the HDTV, Netflix.
