How will you sell the thing you just bought: A strategy for smarter shopping

I’ve bought a Samsung LCD ultra-wide monitor “34” Samsung Ultra-Wide monitor C34H890, for roughly $350. I was super happy with the choice and the screen’s look.

I found a new screen still for sale for double the price so I messaged the guy, but I wasn’t lowballing too much. By then, I already saw myself having the screen in my study.

The screen looked great but I made a mistake. I didn’t even want to see the screen on. I just took the guy’s word for it, gave him the money, loaded the screen into my car and headed home. I was still thinking I was getting an amazing deal.

To be fair, I had a great experience buying second-hand electronics recently, which made me feel like buying second-hand stuff is a risk-free activity.

I thought it had to be the cable, so I ordered five different cables (display port, USB-C 4, thunderbolt, HDMI) to try them. The next day, I tried them one by one and found that the issue was in MacOS.
