Selling an old TV in Singapore sounds simple—list it online, wait for a buyer, and collect some cash. But the reality is that most older TVs attract very low demand, and many homeowners are surprised to find out that their television has little or no resale value.
This guide explains what makes a TV sellable, why many old TVs have no market, and when TV disposal becomes the practical solution. It provides a clear, realistic overview so you can make a confident decision.
Many people try to sell used TVs because the device once cost a lot or still “looks new.” Unfortunately, resale value is determined by function, age, size, and technology, not how much you originally paid for it.
Here’s why most old TVs have no resale value:
A bulky television requires manpower, a vehicle, and safe handling. Buyers know this. If the transport cost is $40–$60, they won’t pay for a TV that’s worth less than that.
If the TV has lines, flickering, sound issues, power problems, or water damage, buyers avoid it completely. Repair specialists also avoid older models due to part availability and time involved.
3. Market Saturation of New, Affordable TVs
Singaporeans have access to low-priced brand-new TVs from popular retailers. This means buyers expect modern models at low prices, further reducing the value of used TVs.
4. Zero Value for Spoilt TVs
If your TV cannot turn on or has display issues, it cannot be sold. There is no buyback value, and it should be treated as an electronic waste disposal item.
Working perfectly: no lines, flickering, or display damage
From a known and reliable brand
Slim, lightweight, and wall-mount compatible
Priced affordably (usually $80–$150, depending on size and condition)
Where to try selling your used TV:
Moving-out groups and neighbourhood groups
Tip: Buyers prefer TVs that can be tested on the spot. Be ready with a clear photo and a short video showing the TV working.
When TV Disposal Is a Better Option Than Selling
More than 7–10 years old
Spoilt or showing screen issues
Bulky, heavy, or not working reliably
Needed to be cleared before a move-out, renovation, or handover
Rejected by potential buyers online
… TV disposal is the more practical option.
Trying to sell an old or faulty TV leads to long waiting times, no-shows, cancellations, and unnecessary stress. Homeowners clearing clutter or preparing for inspection often prefer a fast, predictable solution.
