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.

I have a 32" CRT and two rear projection TVs, a Mitsubishi 55 that works fine and a JVC 60 that doesn't, that are hogging up space in an extra bedroom. Too big for me to move. They are headed for the dump as soon as I can get a couple guys to help me move them. My neighbor put his 55" rear projection TV at the end of his driveway with a sign that said FREE ...and then pushed it back in to his garage. No use for them.
I thought about having converted to an aquarium.
