Purchased one about 3 months ago through his website CloseOutUSA and I'm very happy with the monitor! Seems like shipping costs of $125 are a little ridiculous. He shipped mine on an LTL(less than truckload) carrier for $65. The monitor did have a couple of scratches in it, but other than that I love the thing in my MAME cabinet. Keep in mind the monitor only supports 640x480 at 60 mhz. I could never really get advancemame configured to work. But mame32 and windows mame work great. The hardware streching of my video card makes all the games look great. I think the guy learned a lesson about shipping monitors UPS. I've talked to a number of people that sell monitors, including the guy at CloseOutUSA, and none of them will use UPS. I've never had a problem getting a hold of the guy at CLOSEOUTUSA on the phone, but I only called twice. Once to order and once to check back about a week later to see if the monitor had shipped and to get a tracking number-which he provided. I'm assuming the higher shipping costs so that the carrier insures the monitor in case it doesn't make it to you in working order. I didn't sign for mine until I plugged it in and made sure that it was working. Also, he's selling working monitors through his site for $175. One adjustment I made to mine was to bring up the brightness a little. Theres a breakout board that has small pots that adjust for centering and sizing, but I turned the brightness all the way up and still couldn't get it bright enough. There's another adjustment for brightness on the flyback that I turned a hair and got the brightness where I wanted it. Again, having pretty recently purchased a monitor through the website I'm totally happy with the experience. But there's definately a gamble to be taken on purchasing a "untested" monitor through Ebay.
