Anyone want a new (old) TV? We're selling one--SOLD--

[emcicle.livejournal.com]

ETA: Items are sold.

Just re-posted on Craigslist with a new, lower price to try to sell our old TV. Thought I'd see if anyone locally was interested as well. It works fine, but due to moving to a much smaller space, we decided to upgrade to a TV that doesn't take up as much floor space. I would really love to see someone make use of the TV. Brief summary: 26" High Def CRT TV. We'll throw in our DVD player as well. It can all be yours for $30!

here's craigslist post with more details and pictures:

My understanding is that if you leave a CRT TV, regardless of size, on the curb in advance of trash day, it will not be scavenged.

you're not helping. :P

yeah, there doesn't seem to be too much interest, but it does work and I figured maybe a poor college/grad student would be interested. Or someone who wants to give their kid a TV for their gaming system or such. and I thought maybe the DVD player might sweeten the pot, but I suppose that there aren't that many people out there who don't have a DVD player (and since things are going blue ray anyways...) if it doesn't sell, we'll try to lug it over to good will, I suppose.

I'm not sure Goodwill wants it either. Assuming that you are in Somerville, you can call 311 at least 24 hours before your usual trash day, then leave it out for city pickup at no charge. I don't know how Cambridge, Medford, or Arlington handle this.

ETA: Goodwill says they don't accept TVs

I had very good luck giving a CRT TV away via Craigslist last summer.

So, you might find a taker, but probably not one who will pay.

yeah, it's true, we'll probably end up having to list it free. I didn't particularly care about the money. I mean, $30 isn't much. While it's nice to get something for your stuff, these days I just want it gone. (And I've pretty much blown my possibility of selling it here, so if anyone wants it free, let me know!)
