Best Way to Get Rid of 'like New' CRT TV?

mskeggs on 15/08/2018 - 17:47

My grandfather bought a CRT TV well after everyone I knew had flat screens (maybe 2010?). He passed away not long after and it has been at my parents for a few years in a wooden cabinet, but they don't need it and it is rarely used.

So they have a 66cm (I think) CRT that is hardly used and probably one of the newest sold in Australia.
It seems a shame to throw it out, and I think some retro game collectors still like CRT screens?

Any suggestions of how I get rid of it in the least wasteful manner?

    Possibly contact 'Retro' themed bars and see if they are interested? Or something along those lines

    eBay local pickup.

    Put it on eBay / gumtree local pickup only.

    There is a facebook game buy/sell page could be worth posting there as well.

    CRTs have extremely low input delay compared to digital screens and as a result are popular with 'retro game collectors' which pretty much refers to competitive Super Smash Brothers Melee players. I don't think you'll be able to sell it but depending where you live could be incredibly easy to get rid of in a non-wasteful way.

    Try Gumtree for $50. You might get someone. Good for retro shooting games.

    Great for the old N64

    No doubt at all a retro gaming enthusiast would buy it.

    NSW TV Replacement Offer, but only

    • if you are a concession holder, and
    • if you want a 40" TCL LED TV for $210 + delivery.

    This may not be the best deal for you. I am mentioning this only because the old CRT will be taken away to be dismantled and recycled.
