Our 6010FD 60" Pioneer plasma has been sparingly used, as my wife and I rarely watch it. Once Pioneer exited, we used it even less (i.e., pretty much never), always saying we would set up the TV, but normally just leaving it boxed up safely in storage while we moved around a bit.

Recently, my wife suggested we simply sell it, but I reminded her that prices today would push it down into the 'giveaway' zone, which I just recoil at. We paid $5,700.00 or so back in 2006; it listed for something like $6750 or around there (I cannot recall.)

As we basically don't ever watch TV anymore, I wonder what we should do? What do/did Pioneer owners here in the Vid Asylum do (other than selling early, while the getting was good; missed that train long ago)........ ? Keep it (as repairs become impossible, basically), or sell (for peanuts, yuck!)

(And please, nobody say, "Give it to me!" I can see that one coming from a few of the inmates around here. I thought I should preempt that early.)
