2) without knowing jackshit about something how can i access the value of said item?(in reallife) or a website would be helpfull...
ok i can see your like WTF so ill give you an example, say you stop at a yard sale and you see this item, say a table i need a way to guess the value of it, besides its condition n stuff, you know how paintings can be worth madd $$$ or antic stuff or things like that...

The plug in the back of the TV might be an input jack

An item is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. If you're buying something at a yard sale then you're probably getting a deal.

If its an input, there's no way headphones will work.

connect them to an output, from possibly your satellite receiver or digital cable box or console.
some TVs with audio outputs for external speakers, need to have those outputs turned on, check the OSD GUI

the only way to know what the value is of something is to have some knowledge about the general category. if you cant tell an antique from a reproduction, you certainly cant put a value on it, at least accurately.

From my experiences with TVs, the audio output on the back(if its an output) needs to have an amplifier. The sound those put out is extremely low unless it says its a pre-amp output.
Posted by: Ocean
oh, ok that's your issue. 2 solutions.
headphones dont need that much amplification, you can polug them in directly and they will work fine, you just wont be able to crank them up. and on most TVs there is an option to set the output to variable (meaning the tv volume will control the output volume) which allows you to crank it up.
if you dont have this option, buy a cheap ass set of computer speakers for like $2 and use the amplifyer in those. you wont notice loss in quality unless you really increase the volume to high levels.
yeah, it is completely doable in your situation

For Question #2:
Honestly, to find the value of some random item, i seriously suggest www.google.com. If you know how to use it correctly, you can find out your set of China you bought 10 years ago is actually worth $2000!  But just look for some craftsman mark on i.e. a table, and google it. Good luck!
