Step right up! Everyone’s a winner, bargains galore. Well, let’s make that one single solitary bargain. That’s right, you too can be the proud owner of a not-too-new, but really, really big 21″ monitor. That’s full-color, folks!
Made by Sony, a brand where the quality goes in before the name goes on, this Trinitron Multiscan GS500 monitor would be the almost perfect addition to any home, office or home-office. Yes, indeed, we have ourselves a kind of year-end clearance!* Now, you may ask yourself, “How much would I pay for a somewhat used, rather mature monitor of obscene size and weight? $500? $50? $5?”
Stop asking, because for the duration of this once-in-a-lifetime offer, the pick-it-up and take-it-away price is an unbelievable Zero Dollars and No Cents!
Pitching and hawking aside, my in-laws were very kind to me this Christmas. So I’ve a new monitor of my own. A flatscreen number that takes up a whole lot less desktop room than my previous behemoth. And sense I can’t bear sitting the poor old thing out on the curb (not to mention that I think it is rather illegal from an environmental standpoint to just throw away a CRT monitor), I’d like to see the ol’ Trinitron find a new home.
It’s not new, made in 2000. The picture is a bit bright, which I’ve learned is an eventuality with this model. But if you’ve been looking for a really huge screen to use for Photoshop-ing or just shootin’ dudes online, this is still a great upgrade. All I ask is that you come and get it yourself. Needless to say, this is a rather local offer. This sucker weighs about 80 pounds, I’m guessing. Shipping this thing would cost somewhere between a PS3 and an Xbox 360. So burn a little gasoline and come and get it. Did I mention it was free?
So if you live around Atlanta, particularly North Fulton County, and you need a mighty big monitor to replace your scrawny wee monitor, just e-mail me directly at thomasls[at]gmail[dot]com.
I suppose you could also leave a comment, if that’s the way you want to roll.
UPDATE: The humongous monitor has a new home in Tennessee! When Cort and Julie packed up to head back home yesterday afternoon (New Year’s Day), the monster stowed away in the back of their truck. Congratulations all around to them and their newest electric family member!

I’ve got a 19” that needs a good home! Someone please come and get it before it pees on the carpet again! Which begs the question. What the hell do you do with this crap? I think I have a closet full of old computer stuff.
Here is a handy-dandy brochure for all of your recycling questions.
Hm, I’m definitely tempted. I work on a dual-monitor setup at work, and sometimes get frustrated with only having one at home.
But the one I already have takes up a third of my desk and constantly has me wishing for a flatscreen. I’m not sure my poor desk could support the weight of a second, massive monitor. It’s only from Ikea, and they don’t build for strength and durability. 🙂
You can always donate it to a local school or even to Goodwill. My dad does that with all his old computer stuff.
