This guy is selling the Acer X27 IPS 120hz (144hz) gaming monitor for a $100. Either the deal of a lifetime or definitely a scam. What do you guys think?

Noted.
Monitor is 1440p. If it was 1080 then i'd understand the low price.
oh, I didn't pay that much attention. If it's UHD it's 4K, which is probably too good to be true, but worst case scenario you get murdered when you buy it.
shiiiiit ok
The seller has no history at all either. I'll bring another person just in case.
@CodeXD: True, will probs have to enter their home but don't wanna waste $100 if it turns out to be a dud lol
@Bonemusher: These monitors are plagued with DP handshake issues and overheating/fan issues. That's probably why it's $100.
It sounds like you really want this monitor. Take a few deep breaths to steady your nerves and message the guy with "hey, is this monitor still available? I can pay $100 cash if I can pick it up tomorrow".
Either the deal of a lifetime or definitely a scam.
I'll go for neither. It's a 5 year old monitor in completely unknown condition. Someone's trying to offload it without taking it to the tip.
Your previous deleted post suggested it was worth 'thousands'. It's not. The newer models with updated specs (e.g. 240 Hz) are $999 right now. This isn't one of those.
ah ok that's reassuring to hear (at least they're not gonna murder me lol)
If the condition turns out to be alright, would it be worth paying $100 for or should I wait for a decent monitor deal to pop up.
Well that depends, is your budget $100 or what?
6 year old monitor for $100 lol š
Is it that bad? I've got an 12 year old benq monitor that still goes strong, hook it up to my xbox sometimes
Christ, I donāt think I would pay $100 for it, so yeah, at this price, it is āoutrageousā.
Husband works at Hotel
They recently upgraded all their really big tv monitors.
Gave the old ones to staff.Now I've got 4 46" monitors connected to my rig.
Can you not create a clickbait version of an Ozbargain forum post?
It's a 27" 1080p monitor that's probably 5+ years old. Just buy it or not, they're unlikely to murder you over it.
edit: I just noticed this is your second post about buying a second hand monitor. Just buy a monitor and be done with it, it's not the end of the world.
