Is there a market for old printers, CRT monitors?

2. Good luck finding toner for old printers

The market for old CRTs is you charging 30 cents a pound to accept them at your recycling facility

3. Me and some buddies from work went on a "CRT run" back in the early 2000's

Some guy had reclaimed a bunch of name brand 21-inchers from an office. We picked out three of the best ones and got them for a song, an awesome score.

Today they would be worth less than zero as you say.

5. I think they're gonna charge ME to recycle them. LOL

6. That's what I'm saying.

You would have to run your own recycling facility and charge to accept CRTs.
THAT'S the market for them.

8. That was 10 years ago

Classic gamers have made the price go up. I remember when you couldn't give them away.

7. Hell yeah

I have CRT's all over the house. The hardcore vintage video game enthusiasts like myself are the biggest group of collectors. Do not throw any out, and don't give them to an electronics recycling place, as it'll be a sin.

As for printers, only if they are pre-1998 or so. The older the better, especially dot matrix.

9. I'm sure the printers are newer than that. But the CRTs must be late mid-to-late 90s.

I have 2 or 3. So... where/how could I connect these CRTs to said vintage video game enthusiasts?
