I just recent purchased a Sylvania SSC509D off of eBay because it matches my larger 20" Sylvania 6720FDFA. I heard people say it was sketchy to buy CRTs off of eBay, so I searched around from lots and lots of different sellers until I narrowed it down. It was a seller that also sold vintage collectibles and tech, with 100% ratings. The pictures were even a bit blurry, but they were clear enough to see the TV was very clean. I took the chance and bought it. It came about a week later and was packed really well. They put the CRT in a small box lined with foam, and then put that box in a big box that was stuffed with cushioning and paper, it was solid. The TV works great and even the DVD drive functions properly. I guess I got lucky!

I haven't purchased a CRT of eBay recently, but I've bought several in the past. I only had one monitor show up trashed, and it was due to poor packaging. It was a 19" Sony PVM, and while I bought it before they started commanding the insane prices they do today, it still took me a long time to find one for a reasonable price. Guess it wasn't so reasonable after all, since it showed up trashed. I got a refund from the seller, who didn't ask me to ship the monitor back, so that was nice. But that meant I had to pay an electronics recycler to take the thing off my hands.

As i have been repairing crt tv's as a profession in the past days, i'd check the ptc from the internal degaussing circuit..there may also be some other type of degaussing circuit. That screen didn't look too bad so that internal circuit should have been able to 'clean' the colour mask. As a tip for the use of the degaussing tool..You don't need to take it that far but you can turn it instead 90 degrees to diminish the field.. You can start it right next to the screen..and make the circular motion..take it back like 1.5m and turn it sideways! Takes only little over 5 seconds, and not much heating! :) While You are up close the crt with a degausser, pay attention if the internal steel color mask buzzes..if it does, the crt is propably bad (the mask is loose from some of it's attaching points and You can never achieve color purity..and the purity may change from the temperature build up inside since the mask can bend if it's loose). My 2 cents! :)

Honestly from the title of this video I was expecting to see a CRT packed in some ratty sellotaped box with newspaper or some old shirts as packing material (which ive unfortunately received before!). I think the expanding foam is a great idea, maybe not for the environment but definitely for a rare crt I've just spent $500 or whatever. It obviously protected the tube very well, and old mate spent 2 to 3 minutes clawing at it like a kitten when I would have just ripped the sides off the box the moment I opened the top...

Almost no info on the seller (although they were selling many of the same model of PVM, so maybe they knew what they were doing.), had to be shipped to various intermediate places across two countries, and when it arrived it worked flawlessly with absolutely no issues whatsoever. I honestly believe that my monitor is blessed or something.

I’ve had 50/50 experience on Ebay buying CRT’s. The issues typically stem from the packaging by the seller. No matter if you communicate or insist I’ve had destroyed tv’s show up in crappy flimsy boxes and others in well packed and double layered. It’s a crap shoot like anything else and more often than not Ebay will side with the buyer. Insurance and quality packing materials truly make a difference.

Gotta be honest - the packing method was pretty damn clever. It's only one step down from the expanding foam packets that a lot of boutique system integrators use for computers to prevent heavy PCI-express cards from snapping the epxansion slots in the system during shipping... On another side - The gaussing issue could have been caused by a metal detector or something similar during transit. The only real way to avoid a problem like this would be to go pick the unit up yourself from the seller if possible, because then you can take care not to expose it to magnnetism.

I've only bought 2 CRT PC monitors on Ebay. One was an HP Pavilion MX70 model which the seller said was in good condition but the display was so dim you could barely see anything, so I ended up returning it because I don't know how to repair CRTs myself and nobody near where I live could do it. The seller relisted it and it's been sitting on their store for almost a year since. The other one I bought is a Gateway EV700 which, besides a little yellowing on the plastic, looks like it's just come out of the box in 1998. Just have to be careful dealing with the seller, communicate with them before you buy to make sure the CRT works properly and they ship it correctly.

I resell old CRTs online and I just take them to FedEx or UPS stores and pay them to pack and ship CRTs for me. I always get insurance as well. I've sold probably 60 of them over the years and maybe had 2 damaged in transit. Looks like the seller here did a great job packaging it, so I'm not sure how this example qualifies as a horror story worthy of telling people to avoid ebay for CRTs. Yeah, it needed degaussed, but that was like a 1 minute repair. The more important factor is to make sure you are buying from an experienced seller with good feedback. Avoid people selling CRTs with free shipping. This is one item where you want to pay extra in shipping so the item is packed with the utmost care and not with cost savings in mind.

I got a few CRTs at my house and apparently my dad said he got them on ebay (back when CRTs were alot more common and LCD was slowly taking over so about 2002-2005 era) Ones a GDM-500PS (dell version) and the other is an IBM P260 which i think is a GDM-F500. Only downside the P260 i have to adjust and stretch the image for 1600x1200 unless i need to change something with a driver or windas. The other i need to test as it has VGA and BNC connections. The IBM actually has DVI-A and vga.
