    We have stopped taking any CRT TVs in our recycling shop. No one wants to buy them, they just end up getting tipped.
    The same with monitors.

    No problem in replacing CRT when they no longer work, but was surprised there was so many working ones in charity shops, they would take no more.

    I'd imagine a lot of the problem is the price they charge for them. Not sure I can talk on behalf of every second hand good shop, but locally to me, they are trying to sell old style 21" TV's for £45.

    Why would you buy that?

    Again the point has been missed.
    Why are working CRT's in the charity shop in the first place?

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach.

    Because people have upgraded? Don't require the TV anymore? Requires space?
