Topic: People Selling CRT Televisions on Craigslist (Read 994 times)
used to be really easy to flip these for moolah, haven't done it in a while though
If you want a extra TV and don't have the cash for a newer one I could see maybe paying 10 bucks for it, anything over that is just crazy.
..And yes Atari is better than PS3.
Without any doubt.
I still have the Atari game console with the Game River Raid.

It is for the sake of nostalgia and maybe to make some old time scenarios for TV and movies.
But $50 for one is expensive indeed

Unless your restoring an 80s vintage arcade game, I can not understand anyone buying an old CRT. Maybe the .01% are restoring classic Asteroids & Pac-Man games.
maybe i should join them, my mom has one and its been here forever.
plus it has a vhs all in one. maybe get like $10 for it and buy me some bitcoin.

I'd use one in my garage. Would keep the place warmer. It was -25 here last night!
Uhhh... a couple of CRT and other electronic using iron-core transformers should help!

I know it is a niche, but the "gun" on Nintendo NES work best on CRT.
You've got a point there, which is why I haven't played Duck Hunt in a long, long time...
This is the one and only reason I could ever justify having a CRT in 2014

Just a seasonal issue here to get off my chest...
Here in the US, black Friday is approaching, so naturally lots of people are on Craigslist to sell their old TVs to make room for a new one. Have you seen this? I'm browsing through lots of ads from people trying to sell their 200 pound, standard def, tubes for $50 or more. They'll even throw in the matching early '90s wood armoire for free!
So my question to any of these people is: do you really think we're all that stupid?
Two points you need to be aware of...
If I had a CRT lying around my place, which I don't, I would literally pay someone $10 to take it away for me.
I guess these are the same people who hold yard sales and label their old VHS tapes for $3 a piece and $400 for their old, pet stained sofa (hey, it was $600 brand new 10 years ago!)

- 99.99% of the population sees an old CRT television as worthless. Literally devoid of any value whatsoever. The other 0.01% don't even know what CRT means, nor would they understand the difference between standard and HD. Unfortunately, these people also don't own computers with Internet access nor do they drive cars, so they're not coming to pick it up from you.
- Charities and poor people don't want them either. The family down the street with the unemployed, alcoholic father, and the single mother with 4 kids across town probably own better televisions than you do.
