Rarity[]
The TV is very rare and commands a steep price on online stores. There are a few black controllers in their original boxes. The remote control is very hard to find. Because so few televisions exist, conditions are generally poor, with many sustaining cosmetic damages and having broken legs. Another original feature of the SHARP 19SV111 is an Official Nintendo Seal sticker, which only a few televisions still have.
Average sales of this TV as of 2011 are US $550 shipped.
