It might be time to throw away our last CRT.

[Okjoek]

I've still got this little old 13 inch SHARP CRT television and VCR. The VCR I couldn't really care less about, but gosh that TV was a gift alongside my Nintendo Gamecube growing up. Even today without the GC I can still play an old Atari and Activision plug-in controller game systems on it. I haven't been able to watch TV on it in a looong time because everything changed to digital. Soo I guess it's time to toss it, but it sucks to have to throw away hardware that's not broken.

Store it in a basement or something, don't throw it away

You could probably sell it for some cash. Not a whole lot but someone local'd probably come by and pick it up.

The only real reason to have a CRT anymore is one of two things: nostalgia, or games that use light guns (which I guess still falls under nostalgia).

Somebody out there is probably wanting it, I'd put out a listing and make a few bucks.

They will just throw it out, and you are costing them money.

Well I think now we've settled on putting it in a garage sale bundled with the aforementioned VCR. IDK what I should put on a price tag. 10 dollars? 25? Somewhere in the middle? Honestly I'd happily give it free if I knew someone would get some use out of them.

$10-15 if it's local pickup would definitely be alright.

To be fair, CRTs do have an advantage, especially against older LCD TVs, in terms of latency, where it's almost non-existent.
