Working computer monitor - 25 cents
UPDATE: I sold the monitor. For a quarter. Here’s pix of my satisfied customer:
(Original post): My friend gave me a flat screen monitor, so I’m getting rid of my clunky old CTR. But you can’t throw those out, they need to be taken to special centers.
To save me the trip, I just posted this on CraigsList:
====================
Working computer monitor - 25 cents.
(not 25 dollars, 25 CENTS!)
16-inch CRT ViewSonic A70 monitor.
I bought it last year on CraigsList for ten bucks. I just upgraded, so I’m willing to pass the savings on to you at ONE-FORTIETH THE ORIGINAL PRICE!!!
Must give me a one-hour window of what time you’ll be here.

I gave away my 19″ Viewsonic CRT last year. Posted an ad to Craigslist, some kid came by a couple hours late and picked it up.

No one’s called me yet. I guess my price is too high!

Omigosh I didn’t realize it was YOU who had posted that funny craigslist ad. I LOVE the photo documentary of the transaction. Your customer looks satisfied and happy. And you are 25-cents richer. But oh so much richer in spirit, karma and community. HA!
Was he lovin’ the price and the humor in it all?

I’m sure he’s on his way to Starbucks to do some CRT performance art:

Wow! What a trifecta. You….
1. Got 25-cents richer
2. Saved a monitor from going into the landfill
3. Made someone happy.
If you were never on Santa’s “Good List”, this will surely put you in the top five.
