Do they really? (are worth something, I mean) I still have one upstairs in my house. I don't use it at all, I've just been using it to hold the house down in case of windy weather.

(actually I'm just too lazy to try and haul it out of the house and toss it.)

I knew they did better visually, I meant more that they're actually worth anything. The only reason I even still have this old thing is because it's bigger than my recycle bin and I have no urge even attempt to haul it away.

It really, really depends on the shape it's in, and if it's one of the few models that people consider "collectors" models. The only one I can think of is Sony Trinitron.

You might be able to find someone who is willing to pay for it regardless, but it's a really niche market. It's more of "it’s not just a massive doorstop, you might be able to get $20-80 for it".

Ah, not really planning on selling it anyway, I'd sooner just give it away to the unlucky bastard that would have to haul it off. I'm just surprised they'd be worth anything anyway. This thing is a 32 inch Sanyo

In that case it depends on the TV and how close you are to a CRT gremlin willing to pick the damn thing up.
