HAving recently upgraded to an LCD (Thanks to this forum!) I have two Sony CRTs (Model: Sony Trinitron KV28FX68) that are obviously a few years old, but still in A1 condition.

As there is really nothing wrong with them, is it worth selling them? Any idea on the prices expected?

Thanks!

Best bet is to either give them away to friends or family, or stick on ebay and thing of any money as a bonus. I've just purchased a 50" KURO plasma to replace my 9 year old Philips 36" CRT widescreen. In 9 years it hasn't missed a beat. Originally cost me £1600 in year 2000. Searching on ebay I'll be lucky to get £70 for it, and no-one in I know wants it

I agree with J90rdn I made the change to plasma a few years ago and I need to clear out 2 CRT's. My Loewe Articos 32 is still a stunning set and cost £2000 so ebay is my 1st port of call or the classifieds here. My other set is a 12 year old 29" Sony which is hard to give away.

I've just bought a Sony Trinitron KV-28FX60U 100hz on ebay. I paid £35 but that was the seller's starting price and no-one else placed a bid. In an open auction I think it would have gone for less than that. There is some top quality CRT equipment going for peanuts on ebay as everyone upgrades to LCD/Plasma.

Two options, imo.
Ebay, starting at 99p - my 28" Panny went over £30.
Freecycle if you're not worried about the money.

3rd and 4th option:

Sell it on here or give it away on here, I'm sure there are people who would love a bigger CRT.

If the TV is in good working order you can't be bothered with the hassle of eBay etc...you could contact a local Hospital or nursing home to see if they could take it for use in a day room or something!

Cheers.

Also The Bristish Heart Foundation have shops that will take CRTs off your hands; they'll then sell it for about £30 after checking it out.

Check here to see if they ahve a local branch :

Try a "Wanted" thread on the Forum.

@ OP: I bought the exact same Sony from gumtree locally 3 months ago. My limited environmental conscience recommends against dumping it if it's in a good state; YMMV :-)

As many have said its hard to sell a CRT nowadays. My 36" Panny PD30 would not sell at all even for well under £100. So I ended up giving it away to family. £1600 worth of TV

So I suggest you do that or donate it as suggested.

i've just sold my CRT on here, why not try it, an advert is free or put something up on the local supermarket/newsagents notice board.

Evening all ...

I had decided to give it away, either to charity or a forum member, but then I received a reply from my Gumtree advert!

A nice fella bought both of my TVs on Saturday afternoon, collected and paid £125 cash for both!

I have just sold my Panny 36PL32 for £80 to a work mate, not bad really given most are just given away. I have one more Phillips 36 9525, but i still use this in my 2nd lounge. I have sold the panny because i have purchased a Panasonic 42'' x10 plasma. I am really loathed to get rid of the Phillips because the picture is so damm good. It's a sad day for the CRT world when £2000 tv's are just so much plastic junk.
