NICE FIND?

One of the crt pj's i picked up for free had a "Deuce Intelligent Video Scaler" Item # 2200 with it. Think it was the runco IDP 900A it came with. Don't remember. Is this thing any good?

Depends on what SD sources you still have. For DVD, IMHO any of the old scalers are bested by any $99 blu-ray player.

If a potential buyer only had a composite (single yellow RCA connector input) or s-video source, then it might be a very nice 480i deinterlacer.

I'd be surprised if one has been sold in the past 5 years. I'd also be surprised if you could find someone who could use it for free.

Seriously, you should list it on ebay... with millions of people, it only takes one person who can really put it to good use to give it some value... much better than ending up in the trash.

In a word, no. I've owned one, the image out of it was not good, I pulled it out and sold it after less than 10 minutes of use...
