What to do with old crt?

[subbass]

I'm looking to replace my sony old crt Would be a shame to dump it. Are there are any good tv scrappage schemes around?
I should have bought a new tv during the world cup period to take advantage of the crt tv discount they were promoting.

British Heart Foundation come to my house to pick up some old stuff we didn't need. No charge either.

I tried flogging ours for pennies but gave it away in the end.

Freecycle or try advertising in Customer Classified ads at supermarkets.

I think Sony had a trade in offer for old Sony TV's.
Unfortunatley means you can't shop around for prices.

Most ppl end up giving them away I think.

panasonic tend to do a £50 trade-in on tvs at least once a year .. hold on to it a while

Yes it's a shame because these days CRT TV ain't worth nothing unless you can find some real poor person who cannot afford a newer TV and likes your old CRT. And even then you are only likely to get £50 tops if your lucky. My old CRT TV is a Sony Triniton 29 inch it cost me some £850 back in 1994. The TV is still going well strong and my son uses it in his bedroom so it's still got it's uses I am pleased to say. My new TV is an LG 32 inch LCD this only cost me some £360 and it blows the CRT TV into the dust by far. But I doubt very much it will last for as many years as the old CRT. But at that price to be honest if it lasted me 5 years it would be easy enough to replace.

Yes I have a Sony 29" crt and I've had it for over 15 years as well Never had it serviced before but it's on its way out now
