Depending on your state, doing a trade in can reduce the sales tax to the difference between the purchase price and the trade in. That's not available if you sell privately.

They scan, they're just like a TV with an HDMI output instead of a display. I use a similar one on the projector in my theater room.

The official non-industrial voltage in the US is 120V per phase (not 110V, not 115V). Allowed tolerance is +/- 10%, so the OK range is 108V to 132V. Certainly not 105 or 106V.

In your first post you said he was over the water (100' from the shore). Is that no longer the case? If he's actually over the campground, then call the local FSDO and report him.
