Value of Sony XBR Tube TV's

I have two Sony regular TV's that I'm curious about their value. The first is a 1980's vintage Sony 25 inch XBR tv that sits on the pedestal stand with foot pedals and has two of the four flanking speakers.
The other is a 36inch tube tv XBR. They both listed for $2000 plus when new. Any ideas on whether these old sets have much current value is appreciated.

My Goodwill still takes CRT TVs. At least they did last year.

Offer them on Craigslist for free.

I gave my last XBR away about 7 years ago. It may have been worth a little something back then but I wanted it gone. Great sets in the day, but I doubt they are worth anything now. What would you pay for one?

Thanks Guys! off to the dumpster they go ....in as many small pieces as possible : )

If you have the time, consider taking it to a recycler. You might have to pay a few bucks, but you'll be assured that the lead and mercury laden components will be safely disposed of, and that they won't affect the local water table.

WA State, for example, is making a big push to keep its landfills free of electronics.
