    I would like to say thanks to all doubters and as DOPEN might say "HATERS"..........LMFAO.........Sold $197 Paid For and off to FED-EX in the morning

    I am going to do a little more research on CRT's and what sells on EBAY.......It seems obviously NIB will sell but there must be others

    Despite the major hate on here from a lot of folks over CRTs...there are way to profit off them without scrapping them. I sell quite a few of the working ones I get locally. I also use a tube at home, an as a matter of fact I got the Godfather playing in the background right now on the little tube/vcr combo that's in my office.

    Some people may like going out an replacing all their tv's when the next new thing comes out...me, I keep using it till i can't. An my tv's are all free..LOL. On the computer monitors I can see what your saying about old school gamers, an gamers in general. Odd as it sounds when I fire up World of Warcraft on my CRT monitor it looks better then on the flatscreen. Weird I know but it does. I keep the CRT monitor as a backup for my flat screen. Being as I got about 12 flat screens, I'm good on backups for a bit. lol.

    I don't sell mine on eBay, an please save me the tales of $$$$. Been there done that, got the hat an t shirt. Doesn't matter where or how you sell them, long as they get sold.

    Good score Mike. If you haven't yet you should really look into TeraPeak. Will save you time on your research an has been a great tool for me in the past. Well worth the money per month. Lest I thought so back when eBay was my main form of income.

    YMMV.

    That's a combo DVD + VCR player that will most likely end up in a kids room playing Disney movies. Plus it looks new.

    Gamers used to love 22" CRT screens because they were still square, had higher resolution then LCDs, better picture, and no screen refresh issues. These days with 4K displays and gaming shifting to widescreen native plus super fast response times only vintage gamers bother with them. Plus LCDs are cheap as hell these days. Last year I purchased a new LED backlit DELL 24" 1920x1080 monitor for $120 shipped. Cheaper then a SONY 17" CRT I paid $700+ for in the late 1990's even without inflation. For old gaming I use this Samsung 1280x1024 19" LCD purchased back when you could still find a new non widescreen LCD.
