If you want to give away your tv's and monitors email me and I will haul them away for you.

You could also use Freecycle, if there is one in your area.

Hah! I had a 32" Sharp TV that was only five years old that I just about *gave* away in February for $75. It's amazing how almost worthless SD TVs have become...

I'd be happy to give my TV away for free. Most places charge a recycling fee to "take" the tube.

I can understand why you'd want to get rid of it, but come on...too heavy to lift onto a dresser? My main TV is a 36" CRT and I can lift it onto a TV stand easily.

Anyway, glad someone followed through and came to pick it up. I've put up ads for free stuff on craigslist and people never show up.

Some things are just not worth "selling". I've had a few of those in my past.

I have a 65" TV in my living room. It's a High Def TV but it's still an old CRT style TV (I bought it when LCD/Plasma was really expensive). I put my house up for sale and included the TV in the sale. I'm sure the buyer will consider it a perk, but I was just worried about where to put it when I move. Currently it's built into the wall because I had the house built with this TV in consideration.

I probably could have gotten something for it, but probably not much since there's a big scratch on the screen. The person who picked it up was quite surprised I was willing to part with it for nothing in return. I was just happy to have someone take it away and perhaps I made someone else happy.

I can't believe that you gave that away! I just got rid of mine; very similar. It was manufactured in 1990 but I still managed to get $43 on Craigslist! As long as it was working you should have managed to get SOMETHING out of it...
