Before I ask my question, let me give you a bit of background.
In the UK and other EU markets, finding used (relatively high-end) plasma TVs isn’t difficult. But here in Malaysia, it’s almost impossible—at least in my experience.
Yes, I know plasma production stopped a long time ago, but you’d think with plasma production plants in the region, Malaysia’s used market would be flooded with high-end, last-gen Panasonic plasmas. Yet that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Even finding a last-gen Pioneer Kuro is nearly impossible.
Is this because people choose to hold onto them after paying so much? Or is something else going on? Are they being thrown away?
These plasma sets were definitely sold here.
But after 12/13 years where have they all gone?
I’d love to hear your thoughts—if you have any answers, please share!

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Jan 13 2025, 09:38 PM) All already dispose off... Malaysia not like UK or those developed countries... Got garage sales openly... Strong second hand market... Also lack of spare parts & techie don't want to repair them... Ask just buy new TV... What are your thoughts on the second hand market here? I've noticed, it's not as active. Do you know why - do people hold onto things more, or do they throw them away.
