What do you guys do with "old" TVs?

I have a 55 inch LG Nanocell for which I paid about £600 back in November 2019. I'm going to upgrade to a 48 inch OLED, partly because the 55 is too big for me, and partly for the picture quality.

I'd usually sell old kit on the MM, but as I don't have the box and would rather not deal with couriers etc, that seems like more hassle than its worth. Equally, it's still a perfectly decent TV for most people, is in good condition, and I don't want to bin it. I assume I could get around £200 for it still, although would be happy enough with £150 to sell it hassle free. Any ideas? Do any AV shops take second hand TVs in part exchange?

Where are you? I need a TV for my shed and that is within budget

SW London (although I'm not sure whether we're allowed to discuss this outside of the MM!).

Thanks for all the replies! Will put it on some sort of local group first up and hope I can find someone who wants it!

Stick it in a room which currently doesn't have a telly.

I would if I had one! It's a flat in London so not exactly big on space. I could stick it in the spare room, but a 55 inch TV in the spare bedroom seems like overkill.

Cheers everyone! The idea of a pinball machine sounds excellent, but I'm definitely lacking both the space and the technical skills!
