Wait. Whut? just a few years ago CRT TV's were an albatross that people couldn't even give away.

I'm a late adopter, so before I bought my first flat screen, when my CRT tube started failing, I picked up a free 32" CRT TV from Craigslist, and the owner was VERY happy to be rid of it. A few years later when it came time for me to get rid of it, I put it on Craigslist for free, with a digital tuner set top box and it took a while before someone finally came to get it. I didn't even get the usual calls from people interested who just don't show up. I mean, it was radio silence until someone finally wanted it and it wouldn't have gone had I not included the digital tuner as a bonus.
