It was recently announced that Sony will be launching their UK based TV scrappage scheme in April in time for the World Cup. With this new scheme Sony customer will able to get anything up to £150 off the price of a Flat Screen Sony Bravia TV when they trade in their old TV. Sony are the first electrics company to test a scheme of this kind, and they are hoping that it will boost much needed sales. Comet were one of the first UK stores to agree to take part in this TV scrappage scheme. The sony.co.uk/tradein offer has now started up again, so trade in your old TV now for up to £150 off a new LCD at Comet.
How the Comet TV scrappage scheme will work…
- Click on the link above
- Select the Sony TV that you want to buy
- Trade In your old TV when you select the free ‘scrap product collection service’
- You can collect your new TV in store but you have to take your trade in TV yourself.
- As all the Sony TV’s come with free delivery, let Comet do the drop off and trade in!
The Comet Trade In offer allows you to trade in any TV to scrap, and the best bit is that it doesn’t matter if it works or not. Sony will still offer you a discount. Comet customer’s can expect to save around £50 on the smaller TV’s, £100 off the 40” sets, £150 discount on the 46” Sony Bravia TV, and £200 on the 52″ model, which equal savings of around 15% on each purchase.

Comet Sony TV scrappage scheme and is green…
Many folks don’t even think twice about throwing a TV set away. This way of thinking is only adding to the growing environmental problems. Although, the Comet TV scrappage scheme is mainly focused on money making, it may also help to improve the environment in the long run. It will make consumers think twice about throwing stuff out, and will get them more used to the idea of recycling.
In the future, it is expected that many manufacturers and electric companies will start to add similar scrappage schemes on a wide range of electrical goods. This means consumers will be able to make a little money back on their larger electronic purchases. In turn, this will make people think twice about just dumping their goods.
The Government scrappage scheme…
The government recently started a similar car scrappage scheme in the UK to help boost falling car sales. So far, the scheme has been a success. Car sales have steadily risen by almost 2.5% in July alone, and well over 150,000 car have now been purchased through the scheme.
Sony are hoping that their TV scrapping scheme with Comet will replicate this success, and boost their TV sales. The Japanese giant Sony, have like many other companies been hit hard by the recession. The have lost almost 400 million dollars in this financial quarter alone, and quickly need to improve their sales figures.
The TV scrappage scheme at Comet has come at just the right time in the UK. The UK will be permanently switching over to digital TV soon and Sony hope to cash in on this. Many UK customers will be in the market for a new TV soon and Sony hope the Comet TV scrappage scheme will entice them to buy a Sony Bravia TV.
I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found http://www.tvscrappagescheme.co.uk to be very interesting. I will be coming back to http://www.tvscrappagescheme.co.uk for more information.
would i get £150 off if i wanted a 26″ LCD TV and traded in 3 old tvs???
26″ LCDs have a £50 trade in maximum, so you’ll only get £50 in total, not £50 for each one. A nice idea though!
Hi im going to the comet website and cant find the scrap product collection service’ is it still on?
Hi, it’s not on at the moment, but there is a code on the comet page that will get you money off a new TV
I think that this is a fantastic scheme. My current tv is only 15 years old but it’s very hard to make out what’s going on as it’s so dark and fuzzy compared to newer models. I’ll definitely be upgrading
