Are these monitors worth anything?
« on: October 28, 2010, 06:58:17 pm »
Hi guys,

I have found some dead stock today here in Belgium,
It's 3 industrial monitors (never used) , i have not had the chance to measure them but at least 24" and they are made in 1999 by BARCO a Belgian monitor company. The specs are on the back..
Let's assume they work (again,no time to test them yet) but they litteraly are still in the box.

Are these worth anything? they have some sort of a computer built in but i'm guessing you could open it up and just use the monitor right?
As new CRT's or monitors are getting harder to find "new",what do you think these are worth?

THanks in advance, i put some pics here.

Not much nowadays.  $75?  Considering virtually every industry has moved or is moving toward LCD, there are quite a few tubes out there at giveaway prices.  You just have to keep your eyes open for them to pop up within a distance you are willing to drive to get them.  Prices are usually based on demand, and it's unlikely anyone is fighting over these at the moment.
