question..why are certain obsolete CRT computer monitors worth so much $$$

[shelby5041]

most people cant even give away crt monitors in my area..most people throw in trash

yet on ebay i am seeing 19 inch and larger selling used for $100-200.00

its crazy

who would pay that much money? and why?

when you talk to most people and say crt they say ..."garbage"

thank you

ask price does not necessarily mean how much they're worth...

Now I'm tempted to see if anyone would buy my CRT monitors... I have a 19" shadowmask and a 21" trinitron...

shipping will kill the deal...

One would think people would prefer CRT monitors because, well, fixing a through hole PCB would be a lot easier than a surface mount packed LCD monitor...
