Good question. I've had "retro gamers" call my shop looking for old CRT TVs, and I told them just to troll FB Marketplace and tag/garage/estate sales. They could be had for next to nothing, and in my opinion I'd charge people to remove them!
My best guess is that it's just impatience. They decide they want a CRT TV and just pay for one that's a click away as opposed to hoofing it to find one.
The only logical explanation I can think of to pay that much for a run of the mill 13" is whether someone needed a particular CRT for an arcade console. Back then, most 13" could interchange with a small amount of work. Yes, you could still find them by hoofing it but if you need a jug in a hurry, you can buy one from your computer.
Other than that... ?????
