Here in Winter Haven, Fl. I still get $49 and up for my 14 and 15"
monitors.I get cash... and give a 90 day warranty.I have a large older
customer base of seasonal residents who will carry their tower back and
forth with them, but leave the monitor,keyboard and mouse in each of
their homes to hook up and email. I wish I had a hundred working!I
would give them the quick go-over and fix the easy ones.
Also I tell my 17-21" customers who rely on their PC's for work to buy
and keep a small 14-15 in the closet as a "spare tire". for when their
big one must be shipped for warranty repairs.Keeps'm up and running.
Salesmanship, man!!!
Marketing!
