There has been a rumor around town on the old National TV now selling for upto 1million naira. It's being rumored that a perticular component in this TV is now hot cash.

just curious to find out if this is a scam or has anyone really sold his for any riducously amount.

na so i hera the thing yesterday,wondering if its true because i get 3 for ground.

This rumours are true, am also looking out for someone who has been paid. I have an old National TV, but some tests have been carried out, (like pointing a phone touch at the transformer and CRT), still waiting for the prospective buyer who said she will have to come with security before she can go with the TV. Now, houses have been broken into by hoodlums seeking for the 'white gold'.

I learnt mercury is on these products and they are being used to move hard drugs as it has the ability to conceal the drugs from scanners.

Who's buying? this clock is over a hundred years old. . . kelmaxart@yahoo.com

I am very much surprised that people will still fall for cheap tricks like these. This is just a rehash of a scam in Saudi Arabia not too long ago where people were told that old sewing machines were worth millions of dollars. Now when you take these things to the 'buyers' they will now tell you that you need to bring something for the chemical or something else needed to extract the valuable stuff inside. this is a classic story of IBU ALHAJI practiced in eastern Nigeria sometime ago, but now with the twist that the scammers do not go looking for the victims rather the victims come to them. Beware my brothers. If the story were real do you think the people who need those 'valuables' would tell anyone it was worth anything? They would simply ask people to swap old tv sets for new and no one would be the wiser. Think about it,

Cheers.
