Recently my 21" KDS monitor died on me. I really don't know what the
problem is; it's in perfectly good shape physically, but it won't even
turn on anymore.
I don't even think I want it anymore, since it's too bulky. Can I
sell it for parts maybe? How about companies that sell refurbished
equipment? Would they take it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sell it for parts? If it won't turn on then the goal would be closer to
getting someone to haul it away for free. Unless the monitor is
mid-to-high end and less than 3-4 years old it has practically no value,
considering the uncertainty of the fault and repair costs, time, etc.

Take it to the skip, try not to get a hernia lifting it, return home and
discover that your house is suddenly alot bigger.

I saw a picture where an old PC (or it's monitor) had been peppered with bullets
and then used as a scarecrow. Funny.

Monitors do have fuses if they short out they will blow as fuse. The ones
who work on them are like guys that work on videos as there are
similarities. They can just die but you might have it checked out.

Unless you're willing to pay a very high price for a 21" LCD, you're
not going to find anything nearly as good as a 21" CRT.
Yes, but monitors aren't like cars, so don't expect much for the parts
because they're too specialized. You could try advertising it to
people who know something about electronics (HAM radio operators,
technical school students) and sell it as-is & dead. Someone may
offer as much as $50 since it's a 21", which usually runs $300-600
new.
They'll take it and most likely restore it in just 30 minutes with
$3-20 in parts. A 21" monitor may be worth repairing, but take it
only to a TV shop or monitor specialist because computer shops rarely
have real technicians working for them. Find out who in your area
handles monitor warranty work. When CRT monitors go completely dead,
the problem is usually in the main power supply or horizontal output
section (serves as another power supply), and repair tends to be cheap
unless the flyback is shot. Sometimes it's just a matter of bad
solder joints.
