I'm starting to regret this monitor purchase

I said i was starting to regret: not that i was regretting. Coming close, though.

n-ster · Mar 27, 2012

yea if it ends up 150+euros might as well decline...

I put an offer for a Crossover 27Q with red-cap and he counter-offered 395$ USD. Not a bad price for a good stand with stylish screen. I would have gone with the PB2700 if it weren't for the bigger borders

That sucks man, whats the total cost with the charges you posted?

It should arrive today and it will be 284.77€ (monitor + shipment) + 139.75€ (government ripoff) = ~$566.73: that's $200 more then the cost of the monitor ($365.99). Nice ... :twitch:

Wounded, on the plus side that's still only equivalent to £350 and you will still have to pay double to buy the same size and res monitor locally? :eek:

Like this one?

That one eats up wattage way more then the Catleap. Not double but still more then 57% over the price of the Catleap + (Government ripoff).

Thanks for the thread! Now I have to find a way to convince the misses this was a good deal!

Ouch you're right man for a little more you could have had the benefit of buying a dell, I thought they were more expensive than that :ohwell:

That monitor is 244% more expensive then the Catleap. The problem is the Government ripoff but, even with that + shipping ($10), that monitor's still 57% more expensive then the Catleap and eats up way more which would make me not consider it to begin with even if it were less expensive.

I might have to buy one of these for Lauren once I get her a newer GPU. :laugh:

bbmarley · Mar 27, 2012

n-ster · Mar 27, 2012

First through ebay then by e-mail yes. The guy is red-cap

FreedomEclipse said:

or red-cap knows english xD

I think knowing3 languages and a half is enough as-is lol

\Hopefully I don't regret going with this untested monitor

Wrigleyvillain · Mar 27, 2012

n-ster · Mar 27, 2012

the basics, enough to negotiate a price and know what I meant by circumvent ebay for discount xD

And complete lack of buyer protection I would assume

n-ster · Mar 27, 2012

no there's still the paypal fees and an invoice, I can dispute it if needed. He's just saving the 5% ebay fee + 1$

erocker · Mar 27, 2012

Prices seemed to have dropped all around on these monitors.

neliz · Mar 27, 2012

Ordered mine tonight, let's see what happens.

True. Well, whenever you get it, be sure to let us know how you like it. I'm on the fence about getting one of these monitors, but I have no idea which one I would want.

Anybody feel like buying both and comparing them side-by-side? :laugh:
