At my workplace it'd probably have been given for free, and I'm pretty sure none of my co-workers would resent the recipient. Come on, it's an 8 year-old TV. Everyone who wants a TV has a better one already. Are we really so petty?

A company can't just write off things that are in it's inventory. They can either be lost, destroyed, trashed or sold. If you sell them, it has to be at a reasonable market value or you're in trouble with the IRS. So it's not unreasonable to ask for the ebay value. Ask for a low ebay value if you're being nice.
