The minute I put it on my desk I learned two things: 1. This is RIDICULOUSLY large and I'm sending it back. 2. I do want a new monitor, just not one this big (like a wide curved monitor better than two split and a better monitor is easier on my eyes).
The monitor I ultimately buy will end up being around $500. To get me to do it they had to ship a 40lb box three times l and at best resell the first one as open box for ~$400 less (30%).
At the end of the day, will Amazon end up making a profit here?

On a good month I spend $1,000 - $2,000 through Amazon, (with only occasional returns). I do this because it is infinitely easier than messing with individual vendors, and I know I can make returns no questions asked, without a pain in the arse.
These losses average out as well as reduced from their tax bill.
One of those “net gain” considerations.
