Most places charge a recycling fee to "take" the tube. I’d be happy to give my TV away for free. Most places charge a recycling fee to “take” the tube.

My main TV is a 36" CRT and I can lift it onto a TV stand easily. Anyway, glad someone followed through and came to pick it up. I've put up ads for free stuff on craigslist and people never show up.

I've had a few of those in my past. I have a 65" TV in my living room. It's a High Def TV but it's still an old CRT style TV (I bought it when LCD/Plasma was really expensive). I put my house up for sale and included the TV in the sale. I'm sure the buyer will consider it a perk, but I was just worried about where to put it when I move. Currently it's built into the wall because I had the house built with this TV in consideration. Some things are just not worth “selling”. I’ve had a few of those in my past.

The person who picked it up was quite surprised I was willing to part with it for nothing in return. I was just happy to have someone take it away and perhaps I made someone else happy.

I just got rid of mine; very similar. It was manufactured in 1990 but I still managed to get $43 on Craigslist! As long as it was working you should have managed to get SOMETHING out of it...
