£101 closing price plus £12 postage and this monitor is broken with a power fault. Its also a few years old at the very newest.

Loads of people bidding on it. These monitors can't be so in demand that a brand new 17 or 19 doesnt work out a better deal. They're like £150 if you look in the right places, with warrenty, probably better spec and more comeback and not bloody broken!

I'm after more 1800FP to go with a multiple monitor setup and I'd like to keep them all in the same but I'm not in the league of bidding on whats currently there!

yeah but you got to think if some one knows how to fix the problem for say mmm a few quid how much would people be willing to spend on ebay for a brand name 18inch monitor im guessing nearer £200 so thats a bit of profit or it may be some one going to sell it through a pc shop or something,

but tbh a lot of things on ebay seem to be going over priced not like the old days when you could grab your self a bargain theres to many poeople on there now who just bid what you could buy things for in a shop.

No they are well old now, brand new 19s are under 200 quid, the Dell latest one is 223 is Aria, if he sells a two year old, repaired, smaller monitor for similar money he's done well!

he is obviously going to make some money on it check the buyer feedback, look at all the computer stuff hes been buying he must be selling it in his own shop or something, he also has bought previous items that are faulty, seems like he knows what hes doing.

also bought lots of other things like bikes ect so im inclinded to say he will sell these things on for profit.

People seemed to have missed google when they found ebay.
Don't seem to check what things are actually worth then they get involved in a bidding war.
