If you scrap CRT TV/monitors, I want to give you $5/lb for something you throw away!!

kind of hard to get shipping weight when it takes so many guns to hit a #, and the work involved in getting them out and separated.

I'll keep setting them aside, but it will take me a very long time to get enough to make it worth shipping at $5/#.

What colors are you mostly looking for?

you pay for the freight and i will give you 1600 tubes .
Call me @ 803-218-8829

He didn't want the whole tube.

Did anyone actually sell these I saved a couple then gave up

I think I'd like to know what he does with them, I'm thinking art project and I don't want a trade secret revealed or anything but I am truly scratching my head.

He used them for his glass art.

I think of this thread every time I see those pieces in the scrap yard. I really think he'd get all he wanted if he would just figure a price and buy the stainless piece with the glass attached. They look cool and I'd love to save them, but it's too much work breaking the glass off and keeping them separated by color.

I agree.........Every time I tried the glass just broke and or shattered

days like today make me go dooogh crap I had a fell a couple months ago who said he was collection these and I was never able to get a hold of him again. Just tossed 10 or so LBS into the recycle can. Some times trying to sort your horde hurts you in the end.

You should have tried Ebay from what I understand these are highly sought after in the glass blowing community

the optically clear glass on the front of CRTs is quite valuable and a company or two in cali will take them from you. They found a way to remove the lead from the glass so there should be value on the west coast as seen in this link below...too bad i'm in philly :-/

CRT Monitor Recycling - PN California Electronic Recycling

I keep saving the pieces, I think its called an electron gun or something like that. I have a lot of them, but the glass still need to be separated from the non magnetic metal (cold, dark winter work). I don't think it matters if they are broken because they will be melted anyway. If the OP is long gone, I will pound the payment and find someone local. There seems to be a glass blower on every corner.
