    If it works, it’s probably priced about right. CRT value going crazy with people trying to save them for retro gaming. And this one’s transparent, extra cool points.

    No way dude. That’s a very unique, cool, working piece of technology. I would think any working CRT monitor is going to fetch a premium, let alone with such a cool aesthetic and history.

    If I had throw-away money, and ran some kind of hacker/ maker space, I would TOTALLY buy something like that just because it looks cool.

    Eehhh not really crts can go up to 400+ dollars with shipping included . I sell crts and I have people asking about my crts in my VHS posting and I have to put them on a list.

    I sold my past crt for 120$ and the next one I sell will probably be 150$ simple because I go months without getting a cry and they sell in weeks

    Nah, That thing looks cool as hell. I would consider paying that much for it. Its probably a pretty decent price in the current CRT market.

    On the one hand that’s a rad TV, but on the other that tube looks badly worn out. If you could get a compatible tube that’s in good shape, then $160 isn’t bad at all for something so different from your usual black plastic boxes.
