Well, since we got our 42" plasma,
we haven't been watching our old TV much,
so I'm thinking of selling it.

It's a 32" Sony Trinitron.
It's about 10 yrs but works great and the picture is fine.

So what would be a fair selling price for this ?
( I paid $700+ back in the day ! )

I was thinking $150.  (it's a Sony after all... )

If I can't even get that for it,
I'll just keep it for the kids....
(...or a big-a** MAME !  

Thoughts ?

Thanks,
Steph

Considering what 500$ can buy right now... i would not pay 150$ for a 10 years old crt, but thats only me

However i'd say that you would be able to find someone to buy it at that price, post it in the Ottawa classifieds where the non-technical people goes..

The value also depends of the model# within the Sony line-up.

For instance, a used 32" Wega XBR will fetch more than say a regular non-flat 32" CRT Sony.

I think it might be difficult to get more than $100 for your TV now if not a flat screen.
Just my opinion...

Bonne chance!

It's not an XBR,  and I realize I may not even get $100 for it.

At that point, I might as well just keep it.

Even if I can't sell it for $100, it's "worth" more than that to me
so I guess I'll have to to keep it.  

Thanks for the input.

Cheers,
Steph

I sold mine which was 6 years old for 100$ ... and I was glad I got that much ! ( THANKS AMX!! )

it's A BOAT ANCHOR !!

Keep it. It doesn't cost you anything now, and it will probably outlast your plasma!  

I have a 27" Sony which is 11 years old and I have it in my family room. Works fantastic, and I don't care if my son throws his megabloks against it. I told myself 5 years ago that I will change it when it busts... still waiting, and in the meantime my plasma gets the repairs...

I too have a nearly top of the line (at the time) Sony XBR Trinitron (just before the Wega line came out).  Not entirely flat field, but a curved CRT gives much, much better side angle viewing.  It is heavier than 300 lbs and I'll bet cost me around $1500 back then.  At the time I had to decide between a Sony CRT and a Hitachi rear projection.  I decided size wasn't everything.  But selling it would be pointless I think, and it's as good / bright as the day I bought it (which is excellent by the way) been in constant use and never had a repair.  It's gotta be worth more than $100, but you never know what people are willing to pay.

Here's one eBay not even as good as mine being sold by one of our kind:  http://tinyurl.com/2rfgwb for $99 (BIN $400)

And here's a 32" PAnasonic only at $3.25 right now  http://tinyurl.com/36g545

Sold a 27" WEGA in less than a day for $100 o kijiji - right at the "back to school" time is ideal as kids get a place and want a tv in their room.
