Where can I sell these?

I've got 2 22" inch TVs and a 14" inch portable and a Toshiba DVD player. Both old style CRT not flat screen. Tried selling them on ebay but no takers. I only want £5-10 each for them. Seems a shame to just throw them away as they're in perfect working order. Does anyone have any suggestions how I could get rid of them for a little bit of cash?

Thanks, Steve

    You could always put them on freecycle if you can't sell them

    I don't think you can even give CRT tv's away now. Everyone wants the flat screen style.

    We had my Nan's Sony Trinitron TV from her flat when she went into a nursing home (it used to be ours anyway). We couldn't give that away and it ended up going to TV heaven.

    Hospitals are sometimes glad of old working TV's for the day rooms etc.You wont get any money for them but at least they will be used rather than scrapped.

    Mine ended up on Freecycle even then some old books had more offers than the TVs!

    I tried freeads. Think I got one call - actually the same guy rang twice, apparently oblivious that he had rung me before, asking the same odd questions. Then when I confirmed the size (as stated in ad) he got cold feet...

    I freecycled both!
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j
