Sell Your TV in Mesa for Cash

If you have a television you no longer use, Oro Express Mesa Pawn & Gold may be interested in buying it. We purchase qualifying used TVs with current resale demand, including newer Smart TVs, 4K models, OLED and QLED televisions, and desirable flat screens from recognized manufacturers. If you are looking for a used TV store because you want to purchase rather than sell, visit our Used TV Store in Mesa page. This page is for customers who want to sell qualifying TVs for cash. We generally focus on televisions with an estimated current resale value of approximately $150 or more.

What Types of TVs Do We Buy in Mesa?

Story pin image

Oro Express generally has the most interest in televisions with current technology, recognizable brands, desirable screen sizes, and enough resale demand for us to confidently resell them. Brands we commonly evaluate include:

  • Samsung
  • LG
  • Sony
  • TCL
  • Hisense
  • Vizio
  • Panasonic
  • Other recognized television manufacturers

Newer 4K Smart TVs tend to have stronger resale demand than older HD models. OLED and QLED televisions may also have stronger values depending on the manufacturer, model, age, screen size, and overall condition. We do not purchase a television simply because it works. The model still needs to have enough current market value and customer demand to make sense for resale.

TV Models and Features We Are Most Interested In

The exact model matters more than the name on the front of the television. Two Samsung TVs of the same screen size, for example, may have very different values depending on the model line, age, display technology, and features. We generally have stronger interest in TVs with features such as:

  • 4K resolution
  • Smart TV functionality
  • OLED displays
  • QLED or Mini-LED technology
  • Current streaming platforms
  • Larger screen sizes
  • Higher-end manufacturer model lines
  • HDMI and current connectivity standards
  • Strong current resale demand

Is My TV Worth at Least $150?

tvs for music and entertainment

As a general guideline, we focus on televisions with an estimated current resale value of approximately $150 or more. That does not mean we automatically pay $150 for a qualifying television. The resale value is what the television may reasonably sell for in the current used market, and our purchase offer has to account for testing, handling, inventory risk, and resale costs. Older TVs, small screen sizes, outdated technology, damaged models, and televisions with very limited resale demand may fall below the range we generally purchase. If you are unsure whether your television qualifies, call us with:

  • Brand
  • Model number
  • Screen size
  • Approximate age
  • General condition

With that information, we can often tell you whether it is worth bringing the TV to our Mesa location for a closer evaluation.

How We Evaluate a Used TV

Every television is evaluated individually. We typically consider the exact model, age, screen size, display technology, physical condition, basic functionality, included accessories, and current resale market. A newer 65-inch OLED television may have a very different value from an older 65-inch LED TV even though the screen size is identical. Likewise, an entry-level model and a premium model from the same manufacturer can sell for very different prices on the used market. Our goal is to determine what the TV is realistically worth today rather than basing an offer on the original retail price.

Condition Matters

A used television needs to be functional and in reasonably good condition for us to confidently resell it. Minor wear does not necessarily prevent us from purchasing a TV. However, screen damage or major functional problems can substantially reduce the value and may make the television something we cannot purchase. During the evaluation, we look for problems such as:

  • Cracked or damaged screenswe buy tvs mesa residents trust our evaluation
  • Dead pixels
  • Vertical or horizontal lines
  • Screen discoloration
  • Backlight problems
  • Power issues
  • Sound problems
  • Damaged HDMI or other ports
  • Wi-Fi or Smart TV problems
  • Missing stands or legs
  • Missing remotes
  • Significant cosmetic damage

Bring the Remote, Stand and Accessories

A complete television is generally easier to resell than one with missing parts. A missing remote or stand does not automatically disqualify a television, but completeness can affect its marketability and value. When available, bring:

  • Original remote
  • Power cable
  • Factory stand or legs
  • Mounting hardware
  • Manuals
  • Original packaging
  • Any accessories that belong with the television

Where Do I Find My TV Model Number?

The model number is usually located on a label on the back of the television. It may also appear in the TV’s settings menu.tv in living room Providing the exact model number is one of the easiest ways for us to determine whether a television is likely to have enough resale value before you transport it to the store.

Selling Larger TVs

Larger televisions often have strong customer demand, but they also require more care when transporting them. Keep the television upright whenever possible and avoid placing pressure on the screen. Large flat-panel displays can be damaged easily if they are laid incorrectly or have other items placed on top of them. For especially large TVs, calling ahead is strongly recommended. Tell us the manufacturer, model number, screen size, and condition. If it appears to be something we are currently buying, you can then bring it to our Mesa location for the final in-person evaluation.

Do Pawn Shops Buy Used TVs?

Yes. Pawn shops can purchase used televisions when the model has sufficient resale value and current demand. Oro Express does not buy every television that comes through the door. We focus on TVs that we can confidently evaluate, test, and resell. That usually means newer Smart TVs, current display technologies, desirable screen sizes, and recognized brands have a better chance of qualifying than older or obsolete models. If you are searching for a pawn shop that buys TVs, Mesa residents can contact Oro Express with the model information before making the trip.

TVs We May Not Purchase

Some televisions simply do not have enough resale demand for us to buy them. Examples may include:

This may contain: a living room with a large television mounted on the wall above it's entertainment center

  • Very old flat-screen TVs
  • Small older televisions
  • Plasma televisions with limited demand
  • TVs with cracked screens
  • Models with image defects
  • Televisions with major functional problems
  • Outdated models with little resale value
  • Unknown or difficult-to-resell brands

Sell Electronics for Cash Along With Your TV

Televisions are not the only electronics we purchase. Depending on current demand, Oro Express may also buy qualifying:

  • Soundbars
  • Receivers
  • Speakers
  • Home-theater equipment
  • Laptops
  • Gaming systems
  • Cameras
  • Other electronics

If you have several items to sell, visit our Electronics Buyer page for more information about turning qualifying electronics into cash.

Selling Your TV vs. Pawning It

If you no longer want the television, selling it may be the simplest option. If you would rather keep ownership of a qualifying TV, a pawn loan may provide another option. The television is used as collateral and can be reclaimed after the loan is repaid according to the terms of the agreement. Oro Express also sells used televisions when inventory is available. If you are shopping rather than selling, visit our Used TV Store in Mesa page to see more information about the types of pre-owned televisions we may have available. Our inventory changes frequently, so call ahead if you are looking for a particular brand or screen size.
