New Samsung 226BW Monitor for sale @ great price

Posted at October 18, 2007 09:23 PM in Technology .

When I buy computer hardware, I research the heck out of every product I consider buying, spend a week contemplating the best choice, and then finally jump. I don't usually make bad decisions, and while I didn't pick bad hardware, I just picked something not right for me after all. I'm hoping that one of my readers will be able to benefit.

I purchased a 22" Samsung 226BW monitor (link is to Samsung's description of the monitor) a few weeks ago, but unfortunately there were two problems, neither of them related to this great monitor that I selected. The first problem is that in the meantime I reconfigured my desk and realized that my plan would preclude being able to use a monitor that large in conjunction with a second monitor. The second problem is that I ordered from an online store that does not accept returns on monitors for any reason (unless it's defective, and then they will only replace it). So, I have this highly rated monitor, brand new in the box, and I need to sell it and recover at least some of my cost.

This monitor currently has a $40 rebate, and the best "after rebate and shipping price" I could find was $280. So, I'm willing to sell this monitor for $275, shipped anywhere in the US, and you can completely avoid the hassle of the rebate. Or, make me an offer. By not using eBay I'm saving a lot in fees, so that's why I'm willing to offer such a great price.

Update: the monitor is sold! :)

I'm looking for a monitor like this. I understand that they make an "A" and an "S" model. Could you tell me which one of these it is?

As noted by the update in my original post, the item has been sold, sorry.
