I have a side job answering questions about televisions and home theater. During my reseach, I often come across web sites like this one that offer old outdated televisions as new for outrageous prices:

Now, that TV was a 1998-99 model and is worth about umm…nothing. Yet the website lists it for sale for $1800. Does anyone actually buy these things?
Mitsubishi haven’t made this model for years. How do they have a new one? Or is it a scam?
