From personal experience with aging parents, sometimes dealing with old CRT sets (90s black plastic crap, I'd never let them toss anything worth collecting) can be more trouble than they're worth. They're impossible to sell, charities won't take them, and god help you if they need to be moved up or down stairs. The massive home theater CRT sets may have been high end back in the day, but they're a nightmare to deal with anymore, especially when you're seriously considering downsizing and moving. It's not just easier to dump them on the curb for the city to deal with, it's almost your only option.
