I tried to find your website but getting “not found” message. Do you still want remotes. I have three old ones. pamela7416@yahoo.com

I have two original remotes: a Zenith MBR for a VCR and an RCA for an RCA Digital (tube) TV. Both were given away and we couldn’t find the remotes at the time. Now we have them and don’t want to put them in the trash. I also have an older COX remote for Scientific Atlana non DVR cable boxes. Any interest?

We buy remotes in any quantity, so long as they do not say universal on them. We give 1.00 each. My 13 y/o daughter and I clean test and repair them, then sell them so they get used…. building a college/car fund!

To anyone who does buy new or used remotes, my company have been supplying several big chains with remotes for cable TV. We have 1000′s of remotes that are now obsolete or returns that we would be very interested in removing from our warehouse.

For more info mail: Joseph.Hewitt@technetix.com

And I agree that babies love them and an old remote saves your nice new one from dribble!!!

I have about 5000 Direct TV remotes (IR only – mostly RC64). They are brand new, never used; my AV company gets them with every receiver, but we use Crestron control and just throw all the remotes in boxes. We would love to get rid of them … if you have any interest, drop me a note. Thanks.

Hi Corey, I am responding to your blurb about buying remote controls. I have a Philips Magnavox N0246UD, a TRUTECH DVD player remote and a Fisher RVR-4911 that does say Universal Remote on it so that one may not be what your looking for. Anyway, if you are still collecting them, I have them.

I pay top dollar for new or used original remote controls. (excluding universal remotes!) I can buy from a few to hundreds at a time. dlm3089@yahoo.com

I will pay cash for new or used original (not universal) remotes. I prefer to buy several at a time. I am a supporter of recycling!

If you are a tech junkie like my self, I use old remotes for the infra red LED to make homemade night vision goggles and various other cool little gadgets.

If you have a bunch of old remotes attach them to strings and turn them into a wind chime. Or, if you have a TV room, glue a bunch of remotes to an old picture frame (otherwise known as pop art).

Excellent ideas there ^^^^^

Other ideas….stick it in your purse…go to a party and drop it on the coffee table…great gag gift!

PS…cats like the salt that gets on remotes from our hands…but the plastic isn’t good for them.

ebay, there might be someone out there with the tv, but no remote!

give it to the kids to play with. i have a friend with a toddler who loves cell phones and remotes, so she gets all the old ones.

universal remotes can be used somewhere else. if you’ve lost the “key page” just google the name of the remote.

my cats love licking remotes… we don’t know why. give a cat an old remote.

take the batteries out, and use the compartment to store money etc in.

paint them in pretty colors and use for a paperweight if you’re a tv junkie
