To add, + CRT's were usually shipped in bulk on pallets and that's how they would arrive in a big box store. So "This side up" and "Handle with Care" had meaning and until reaching store shelves forked jacks and lifts were used. Unlike today when a CRT will mostly be moved by hand alongside unfragile goods by someone who isn't paid to care. + Crating a used CRT is time consuming and requires more effort and experience than most sellers are likely to commit or have. The margins just aren't there when selling to price sensitive customers. It's probably $100 worth of work on top of the cost of shipping and whose going to pay that? For reference, manufacturers have engineers designing their shipping packages.
