    I guess you only have a few options.
    1. Buy a new TV (or claim via home insuance)
    2. Repair the TV although likely to be more than a new one.
    3. Put the kids up for adoption and buy yourself a bigger better tv.

    I personally would go with the 3rd option 😁

    Whatever you do, do not try to con the seller.

    Definitely not the kids fault...even if it was.

    You wouldn't be asking on HUKD if you had Accidental Damage cover or could claim via home insurance (if you have it).

    So buy a new TV and prevent your kids from breaking it again

    Buy a new one. Not much else to say.

    I think you'll have to put it down as a learning curve, with young kids being able to go behind the tv, time to secure the tv, its a £250 lesson, at least it was a cheap one

    Get the kids to buy the new tv from their savings / pocket money and they will learn a valuable life lesson

    My son broke a tv in his bedroom once by getting over enthusiastic with a ps4 remote. No doubt whilst playing Call of Duty with his mates his controller had "accidentally" launch over 2 meters in to the screen.

    Result -- No TV for a few months.

    Whatever you do with the TV you are going to have to find a way that it never happens again.

    Your only options are buy a new one or claim on insurance or do without. You could raise a claim with ebay saying it was broke when you got it, which is what I guess you want the ok for but that would be out of order. (edited)

    I'd claim that on my house insurance...
