I feel blessed to live in socialism where all electronics can be taken to the recycling centre for free :mmmhmm: (I kept my 1084 though because it's kick-rear end and has RGB and everything.)

A quick googling suggests a 32" Trinitron weighs around 80 kg, which would mean you're a nerd :smugmrgw:

Yeah, but it's not 180lbs in a nice, easy-to-grab package like a barbell, it's a giant smooth cube and many of them don't even have molded-in handles or anything. My GF's 37" Sharp CRT almost ruptured me, and I move heavier poo poo every day at work.

I use electronics as bartering in my family. I owed my mother-in-law some money when my wife and I were short on cash a few years ago, so I gave her my 5.1 speaker/receiver setup and 46" LCD screen when I won a new 4K setup. I give my iPhone to my mother when I upgrade every few years.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

There are some hard to find horror and independent movies on VHS that sell well on the resale market. Other than that, lol at trying to get anything for your VHS copies of Jerry Maguire and Wild Wild West.

I've had to move these for other people a few times and have always cursed them for not putting some sort of handle or hole or even an edge to hang on to. Now I see them and say to the friend I'm moving stuff for, 'I'm not touching that'.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I saw a 64" widescreen Sony CRT on Craigslist the other day for $50. That poo poo was nearly 400 lbs, good luck to the poor rear end in a top hat stuck with that thing until the end of days.

Maybe he can hire a team of guys with saws to chop it into tiny pieces and drag them out to the curb.

For a brief dumbass moment I actually considered buying it

I can tell you that B&W PVMs sell for stupid money. I honestly don't know what people still use them for but this 13" one sold for $195 on eBay.



http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-13-B-W...=p2047675.l2557

I have a 13" color PVM and it's worth maybe like $50 so I don't know what the gently caress.
