Have a turkey shoot...with CRT's. Or if you're afraid of guns, get a couple baseball bats and offer up 3 hits for $1. Make sure you wear goggles though. :)

Ugh, as others have tried to tell you, would you PLEASE offer them free to your employees as a perk, then move your lazy ass through perhaps the blue pages of your phone book or Google to find a needy charity near you who could put them DIRECTLY to use?

You have a rare chance to do good on two levels here, at minimum effort.

DO IT!!

calm down.

I was already considering craiglist, ebay, sell them to employees (if not give away), anymore ideas...otherwise these seem pretty strait forward to me.

Take them to your local recycling if no charities want them. Shipping these things will cost more than they are worth.

yeah, I was thinking either giving them away otherwise a silent auction here at work.

and maybe put the U of M into it (they are apart of us, kind of). To get more people to see if they are interested. Otherwise I know of a few places that will take them free.

:thumbsup:

I had 39 emails not too long ago for a pair of CRT's that I was giving away for free and several months later people were still inquiring about them.

There are companies that will take them off your hands and they'll sell them to reclamation companies.

This project was brought up by me and I guess im supposed to pick the LCD (which I chose the Acer) and get rid of our old CRTs (dont want em sitting around). We have Dell PC's, but since some of the older ones have CRT's we are trying to sell them, I was thinking craiglist? The director here said I could ebay them...I dont want to do shipping for this many monitors though.

Is there a website where you can auction of bulk orders like this? They are working monitors, nothing wrong with them, except we dont need em!

Put them on eBay (bulk auction) for local pickup only.
