We currently have available (18) high definition 19" LCD video monitors. These are new in box with full manufacturer warranty. Our regular retail price for these units is $985. We are currently offering them units at $785 each. Free UPS ground shipping within the Continental USA is included.
$305.00 CDN here. And we have more than "18" available. We've also got some really nice 22" wide screen units for just $425.00 (CDN). Let's see.... UPS Ground to "anywhere" in North America runs about $18.00 CDN. Geez Bass... That's some markup you got there.
And neither one of you mentions the brand so how do we know this is an apples to apples comparison?
We carry ACER, Viewsonic, Panasonic, LG, and Samsung (the unit pricing I quoted is for the ACER unit). The price doesn't vary all that much between the manufacturers (a few dollars here and there), and I'm sure Bass isn't charging all that much for mark-up. It's his $480.00 "handling fee" that's the killer. Mind you, I'm not set up to do "online" sales, but there's more than one way to "fillet a bass" or "skin a cat" if you're interested. Heck, I should really consider expanding into "online sales". Apparently you don't need an "800 line" or email contacts. All you've gotta do is flood Usenet with "FS", "INFO", and "PR" posts, answer a few questions (in an extremely "helpful" manner") and voila! :-)

Olson is lying (again). There is no such thing as a high definition 18" CCTV monitor for $305, especially using low value Canadian money. Considering the weight, he's also lying about UPS charges.
That appears to be correct as Acer doesn't show any 19" HD Monitors on their Canadian website.
The glut has been here for some time, especially in the smaller sizes. I bought a Viewsonic QB19wb about a year ago from buy.com for less than $200. It has performed flawlessly.
geez watta rip off price. u must think theses cha'ers are morons/!
how about a link to them?
On a monetary note, the Canadian dollar is almost on par with the US dollar. CDN$1.00 = US$0.95.
Which means the US dollar can still buy "slightly" more in Canada.
No, that doesn't "appear to be correct". I stand behind what I quote. If you don't like Acer, the Panasonic unit is $384.00, the LG unit is $331.00, the Viewsonic is $356.00. All prices are Canadian. If you'd like model numbers I'll be only to happy to provide them. As for shipping via UPS, whether it's $18 or $50, the cost is still *WAY* below what Bass offers. In fact, I challenge you to find any price on any item Bass sells that I can't beat (even with shipping included). He's not the only "fish" that can drop ship anywhere in North America.
Sorry for the delayed reply. The monitors are from ToteVision. Here are the specs:
- HD compatible (480p/i,720p,1080p/i)
- Displays 16:9
- Comes in flush mount
- RS-232 control
- 300 Nit brightness
- 800:1 Contrast
- 1440 x 900 resolution
ToteVision is one of the better makers of professional grade CCTV monitors. MSRP on these units is $1,169 each. I usually discount them at $985. We had a military order for 18 units. After having them built the order was changed to a larger model. We did alright on the upgraded order but now have 18 of the 19" HD monitors. We don't want to keep them on the shelf so I'm offering them at cost.
The dollar has been going steadily downhill ever since Shrub stole the presidency. Things will start to get better once we get rid of him and the rest of his thugs this November. Thank God for term limits!
OK, BOTH of you should provide model numbers. What's the HD 19" Acer number?
Thanks for the details.
I don't like him and I don't know anything you don't either so it's true he'll be here until January. Once when I was entering the polls a reporter approached to ask what I intended to do. I said, "I'm about to go in there and get even." :^)
My monitors are from ToteVision. The model number is in the subject line. It's LCD1901HD. These are professional grade, hi-def monitors capable of 1080i and 1080p, among others.
I don't carry Acer. They make notebook Pcs and PC monitors. Olson's flame is the equivalent of me offering to sell an ELK-M1G and him claiming that he can beat my price by shipping a CM11A. As usual, he's all moo and no beef.
You're welcome.
Would that be a one time price reduction by you just to beat Robert on one order or your normal prices.
Of course, since you hide your business identity, you could claim any price.
