I found a samsung S34E790C 34 inches monitor on facebook market place which looks good and asked for $400. Is it good price to put on this?
Or buy new xiaomi 34 inches at $500?
Appreciate your opinions on this.
Thanks.

        I am not going anywhere…The seller drops off the monitor and will check quickly at my home and pay.

                @theHMASfriendship: I can go for a walk. I think this is allowed. Even I can pick up groceries.

                    @theHMASfriendship: I didn't say i am allowed to pick up the monitor. I told i can go for the grocery shopping and do contact less pickup at the shop.
                    If even that is not allowed, I will ask him to hold up until lock down ends, if possible.

  Do so at your own risk OP. You're potentially risking the lives of others.

  Does a bargain warrant leaving your house? Probably not. You're an adult, make your own decisions.

    Thanks for the kind info…
    I decided that I will not pick up until lock down ends.
    Please don't put comments related to pick up and suggest me about the price for product is good or not. Otherwise i can buy xiaomi online.

      Ignore everyone elses' advice and do what YOU want to do. Trying to ascertain value at what you already know is a bargain price point is a pretty null and meagre activity. Get the monitor you want, and forget about lockdown. Just wear a mask.

  Honestly, I would probably go for the xiaomi at that price. I think it is worth spending a bit extra for the xiaomi. Especially considering the alternative doesn't cost much more and has better specs.

  I got the samsung 4 years ago brand new for $588 at MSY (pricing error though). At the start of the year I got another used one for $250 (had to spend about $15 of petrol to pick it up tho).

  I'm probably biased but I think it's a great monitor. I only realised this when I got it back home, but the used one had a faulty DP port. It only has 1 DP port, so I'm stuck with the HDMI ports. So maybe make sure all the ports are working
