Title: [WTB] CRT Monitor
Post by: pandather on Thu, 16 May 2019, 01:23:39

Hey all, if anyone has a fancy old crt they don't want (looking for things akin to NEC Multisync, Sony Trinitron, ...) I'd be willing to buy it off you and pick it up if local (I'm in TX) or pay shipping fees if it's not too much of a hassle.

If you haven't already, I recommend making a wanted post on craigslist. When I was looking for crt computer monitors, that worked out well and I found a Lacie Electron III. Since then I've moved on from the crt computer monitors, but I had a decent amount of responses - both good monitors, and cheap ones as well. Usually people just want them gone, so they're cheap or free. Also I wouldn't trust shipping these - they get destroyed easily in transit. It really requires an absurd amount of padding for safe transit, and even then its risky and expensive.
