I keep seeing 2560x1440 monitors on sale from China for 42.99.  Definitely seems to good to be true. Ebay has a money back guarentee so I purchased 3 of these monitors.  Seller probably isn't legit and if i actually get the item its probably stolen.  Either way I figured its worth taking a shot.  Worst case I file a dispute and get my money back.

 

Heres one of the ads:

Seller has 0 feedback, that's a big no-go.

Price 42.99 and shipping another 42. If I get a bullshit monitor you will have to shit it back. lol no go. 

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

ebay has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, i'm definitely skeptical but I figure its worth a shot.

also i know its the same seller, and they just keep changing their names.  If these sellers were causing issues on ebay you'd figure that ebay would shut them down

 

Here's another example

Might as well, i just used bill me later so the money doesn't come out of my bank account and I can dispute the charge if something goes wrong, would be pretty cool if it's just a bunch of these monitors that "fell of the back of the truck" and now the seller is just trying to quickly cash in

Probably not legit, but like @helping said, worst case scenario you get your money back, so it's worth a shot

I've tried shit like this twice, Once with a suspiciously low priced video card and another time with a Razer deatheadder http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/114138-real-or-fake-ill-be-the-guinea-pig/

 

Both times the sellers ebay accounts ended up getting closed and the item never arrived. But like other people have said, It's worth a shot. Both times i got my money back with ease.

I saw those before and somewhere in the description it said dont buy through ebay go to our store, likt the ebay listing was just an add for their store, basically said they werent selling you a monitor. so its clearly a bunch of BS

 enjoy your picture of a moinitor

It's worth the risk I suppose. I'll go apeshit on ebay if they don't refund me. 

 

I read the listing carefully and made sure it didn't say that it was a "fake monitor" or "painting" or any BS like that.

I already risked it along with at least 2 more people on LTT haha.

 

I'm 99% sure it's a scam though :D
