Man i had a large CRT that i got for free a few years ago and kept moving it from room to room until i finally just gave it away.

Now i see them listed for $250-300 for "retro gaming" and it's laughable. I've thrown away more CRT tv's than i can count. Also the amount of people that can properly fix a CRT tube are dwindling daily, so hopefully these retro gaming guys start learning CRT tv repair if they want the prices to be that high.
