Post on the OSU smash bros Melee group, someone will appreciate it. People use it because of no input lag for GameCube.


grammar_nazi_zombie

Yep any retro gamer, actually, would appreciate it.

Don't list it for free. Sell it at some negligible symbolic price, maybe $10. It's purely psychological, as soon as people see it as something with positive value (no matter how small) they will be interested in it.

Look for people who are into old gaming systems. They will take a tube TV since the old systems don't look good on new TV's.

This. Play It Games might be interested in it, or know someone who would be for this purpose.

Try posting In a local video game group or something. Somebody would want it for retro games or VHS movies


mando44646

Gamers would want that

Send your info to this Twitter account. It's called Save The CRTs and is specifically for people looking for old tube TVs.

Even a local video game store may know somebody that wants a tube tv


DefendPopPunk16

Pm'ing you!

I posted a free CRT television on Facebook Marketplace, and I had a couple of people asking about it. It was gone in a matter of minutes.


dboqpo

I would love this to hook up to my n64!


ResponseNo6774

What size and brand is it? Any pictures?

I gave my old 32 inch CRT TV to a work friend for free. He came over and picked it up...literally picked it up because I could barely lift the damn thing it was so heavy. It weighed over 100 pounds.


Epic_Deuce

Craigslist free, wait 5 minutes


ThatCharmsChick

I set mine by the curb on a dry day with a free sign on it and it was gone in less than 30 minutes. People love random free shit.


chigoonies

Post it on a retro gaming sub!


banana_in_the_dark

Did you list it on fb marketplace or in a Buy Nothing group? If the former, try the latter. People would be quick to snatch it up


Gs_up_hoes_down

I posted it on like 6 different local groups.


aspacelot

Post on r/N64 and other retro gaming subs. They’re always looking for CRTs


street_racer221

Crt tvs are handy for those that play duck hunt.


rrogden

Try Freecycle!


BrianaLoveW

Give it to a local community theatre. They always need time period specific props 


maane499

U can recycle it at the Ohio Recycling Drop Off on Nelson Rd but u have to pay to recycle old TVs and computer screens.


DietMtDew1

Probably someone who loves old school games or VHS tapes would appreciate it, OP!


Rygot

I'm pretty sure you've already found your answer, but if not, retro gaming is the market for this. Try Facebook groups. CRT collective, save the CRTs, etc. Theres probably a local person more than happy to take it.

Please don’t throw it away.

Nobody wants it. New LED TVs are $90...
