    Dell 3008FWP for under $$1500!!!

    no they will not take it back from us. Whats done is done, and they got cut in the process. I remember that that seller sold a lot of them. almost 2 monitors per day. I couldnt keep up with ebay, when I wanted to buy it it was always sold out. and day later it was up for grabs again.
