Around here, it costs $30 to take a CRT TV to the recycling center. The trash haulers will just leave them at the curb. You see late model CRT sets on Craig's List every day for free, and despite that, there are always a couple idiots who are listing their old CRT sets on sale on Craig's List for obscene amounts such as $50 for a 27" set or $100 for a 36" set. Evidently they are oblivious to the fact that everyone else is trying to give away the same style sets, usually with no success.
In the summer, I walk at dusk for exercise, and I'm constantly amazed to see a huge flat panel TV shining through the window of a "modest" (to put it politely) house that is a low-income rental. It seems like the "poor" are the early adopters of the luxury items, and those of us being responsible with our money usually wait until we can afford the latest "toys".
