Curious as to what a Sharp/NES unit is going for now. Seller claims that it has a "blown fuse" and isn't working. What kind of price are we looking at here?

I would be picking it up in person, but I'd have to drive about an hour to get there.
So 100-250 is what they go for working? I was under the impression these things were extremely rare and expensive. He's asking 100.00 or best offer but the non-working condition scares me. He claims blown fuse, but what if it's a fried circuitboard or tube? I didn't know if 50.00 was lowball or highball.
It might be a blown power supply, that recently happened with a Toshiba 19" CRT TV with me(power surge hit the house). Different repair shops asked for different amounts, ranging from $85-$125.
Ask him to get estimates from repair shops first(if you can get him to do this), he might lower the price if he realizes how expensive a repair it can be, it might not be that simple or cheap. I'm assuming you won't try to fix it yourself, it might be cheaper to do that if you know what you're doing.
I do not see why 50$ is unreasonable.
Now it is the beginning of
a fantastic story! Let us
make a Journey to
the cave of Monters!
Good luck!
As someone who isn't electronically inclined, I would probably say a non-working tv (console, whatever) might have a blown fuse, too. It just sounds right, especially to other people who don't know anything about electronics. What I'm saying is, I wouldn't count on it being an easy or cheap repair. Expect the worst and then you can only be pleansantly surprised.
disclaimer: no I'm not saying I would try to be misleading. I would just say something like "The tv doesn't work, it probably just has a blown fuse or something".
