A few years ago I took a perfectly good "normal" TV to Goodwill or Salvation Army donations drop off place because we'd bought a large flatscreen for our family room.

The guy there said they don't take in those TVs anymore because everyone wants a flat screen and won't take them.

I said, yeah, but it's free and it's Goodwill.

Nope.
