Entertainment centers

Here lately, I've seen many people trying to unload the older style entertainment cabinets that hold a standard CRT TV, as well as other A/V components. I see everything from cheap particleboard junk to decent quality furniture; but, the problem is that most of these sellers are wanting three figures for them.

Their asking price might be justified if CRT TV's were still in high demand; but, the fact is that most people are getting rid of these for the same reason that no one is buying them - because they won't hold a wide flatscreen TV. People need to realize the same thing I had to face the facts with when selling a used CRT TV. They USED to be worth good money; but, they ain't worth crap anymore.

We actually have such an entertainment cabinet in our livingroom that is holding a 27" CRT TV. My Mother would really like to have a flatscreen TV in the livingroom; but, that would call for getting rid of that big monster cabinet and buying something new to sit in it's place that would hold a modern TV. So, the old cabinet is staying and when the current TV dies, I'll dig up another 27" CRT TV to put in it's place.
