Are you suggesting that our vintage 1999 32" Sony WEGA might be worth
something? It followed us back from Saudi Arabia, so it is PAL1, PAL2,
SECAM and NTSC, as well as voltage agile from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

My wife is its only user, maybe I could trade it in for a 40"
flat-screen.... they are so cheap these days, even for a 'name brand'.
Thoughts?

It shouldn't be too tough to find somebody who wants any Trinitron/WEGA.
I have a 27" from that time frame, US model though. Having PAL/NTSC
could be of interest to import collectors. Does that one have an RGB
SCART input?

A standard US Trinitron in good condition can get $50-100. SCART would
add value to the right buyer on this side of the pond. Some people SCART
mod them with varying results, having a proper factory-installed port
would be better.

I made a 4 hour round trip a few years ago for a Sony XBR960 (granted,
it's a sought after model)...some people contacting that seller lived 5,
6 hours away. There's a PVM listed nearby me right now for $700, which
isn't unreasonable.

I would encourage people to at least google the model # before recycling/
tossing.
