32" CRT TV how to give it away ?

I'm surprised there isn't a queue of people at your door. If the charity shops won't accept it (again I'd be surprised if they didn't, even if they didn't want to sell it surely one of the ladies would know someone who'd like a free telly), just stick a 'free to good home' message in your local shop window, should be gone in a flash.

Have you phoned your local hospital? They often want TVs for wards so that patients don't get bored.

Try the old fashioned way in your local papers' under a £xx free ads and list it as free (or a tenner people are suspicious of free stuff) "Can be seen working" "Buyer collects" etc. etc.
You would be amazed at the number of (relatively poor) people who are still internet illiterate.
("you can send an email to my boy - I can't do email.........")

funnily enough i saw a 26" version of my old JVC telly go for £20 on ebay the other day
so it maybe worth listing it for 99p on ebay
big market and a free listing

However the sponsors of the annoying little Martian fellow on the telly, are encountering an amazing number of grotty old boxes that the aged and handicapped users expect to be tuned into the "new" service with the usual problems of getting a good reception.

Perhaps we should have a telly scrapage scheme like the car one - after all the tellys are imported these days too.

How do you know he's Martian? Plutonians are related and look very similar.:D

The salvation army took some of our stuff away. It was for people free of drugs who they set up in homes.
