I'm trying to get some money together for some things and being unemployed waiting to see if I got jobs I've applied for I gotta sell some stuff and I was just wondering, is a GT65 green screen monitor worth any money at all to anybody?  Is there anyone who does anything that would benefit from 27 shades of green (not making fun, I know there's some neat stuff that can be done on one)?  I've had it ever since my 464 was bought until I got the MP-1 modulator (still got that but one of the plugs doesn't fit quite as much as it should but overall fine) but ever since the beginning of high school where I managed to get the official colour monitor, the green ones been unused apart from occasionally testing it now and then to see if it still works.  Not even sure why I still have it even now but yeah are they worth anything at all?

Tricky one, green screen monitors certainly have their uses, but whether anyone needs one is hard to guess.
They are perfect for word processing and CP/M, maybe even programming, but do people still do those things on a CPC when they have a stupidly overpowered PC?
Still there are many CPC's being sold on ebay without a monitor so I am pretty sure someone would want it, although it would have to be very well packed to survive the postal/courier services abuse.
The last two monitors I bought I picked up myself to make sure I got them to my home without being damaged.

The "usefulness" value is one thing, the monetary value is something else. As there are so many of them, their monetary value is very low. I have two, many others have at least one or two, so unfortunately I doubt you will get much for it.

Bryce.

P.s. Good luck with your job search.

Thanks.

Yeah I figured they're probably quite common still.  I've got no use for it myself and I don't want to keep it but I would feel a bit bad if I just dumped it.

If you live within 20 miles of Portsmouth, I will give you £5 for it, I don't need it, I already have one, but would not like to know it had been dumped and I had done nothing to prevent it. :D

Carnivius

Hehe, I would accept that but I don't live anywhere near Portsmouth.  I'm in Cambridgeshire.  Thanks though.  I'll hold it to a lil longer.  Am just trying to get some money and reduce more clutter in my flat too (I hate owning too many things, especially stuff I have no use for at all).
