Yeah...I seriously thought about that but since it's an older TV, I doubt I'd get little to nothing for it. (If I had to guess, I'd probably get $500 tops for it) At least it's working now, and I do have one more spare bulb for it so I'm just going to run through the bulbs and hopefully get a few years of life out of them. People are saying it's a poor bulb design. The last bulb I bought was actually a 3rd party bulb and these guys who created these bulbs claim to have "fixed" the issue. I'll see if that's the case when I go to use it.

I bought it in April 2005. Model is a 52HM84. I suspect the issue is with a specific bulb type rather than a Toshiba wide TV issue.
