| Post subject: | Tube TV's |
I am currently going through my house and sifting through what I am keeping, what I am tossing out and what may be saleable before I move a majority of my things into a storage unit. I know that Tube TV's have gone the way of the dinosaur for most of us, I am sure some people still use or watch them. Do I even try to sell this thing? It is 37" and weighs at least 140 lbs. Was a nice TV but been collecting dust in my basement. I was going to put up a flyer around work with some other things, assign a value to it and see how it went with the caveat that I would likely be willing to take a best offer. Only other option is taking it to Goodwill and giving it away for a small tax break. Just thought I would see what you guys thought, maybe you have been in a similar spot in the past. |

Maybe try Craigslist? You might find somebody looking for a cheap TV for their basement or garage. Or we could burn it at the tailgate. |

You'd be better off just trying to get someone to take it for free, then you won't have to worry about lugging that thing to goodwill or some place else. |

Same question goes for VHS tapes. I have over a hundred of a bunch of good movies but am thinking of just tossing them. I still have a VHS so I could technically still watch them. Don't see any demand for these anymore that I have seen. |

Mr Reason or Joe Orr would probably take those VHS tapes from you. |

you could get 20 or 30 bucks for it. more if it's HD. I just sold a massive Sony Tube HDTV for 95 bucks. It weighed about 240 pounds but the picture was awesome. |

DT, I wouldn't have wanted to sell it to you. They have a long history of boards going out on almost all of this model and it's around 3 to 400 to repair. |

We have an electronics recycling collection over here that benefits a group with disabilities- they part things like tvs out for the value of the parts. I donated my old tube tv to them, as the tuner was failing. When the school where my wife teaches switched to smart boards for the classroom, the tvs became obsolete- we sold them through a local resale shop for $20-25 apiece. |

I gave my last two tube TV's to my divorced friend & my niece. The extra 25-30 bucks I would make from selling them online is not worth the hassle of having some strange dude in my house. |

For sale: A big, juicy TV. Interesting trades considered. |
