i've bought stuff off of craigslist and always offer to pick up since i don't want people to know where i live. i find that 99% of the people i buy the stuff off of live in apartments. If you have a friend or relative who lives in an apartment, it's probably best to do it there. if there's an outlet outside of the building, it's best to do the transaction there. if not, the lobby or storage area works too.

too bad he didn't test it at your house. he paid for a monitor, not tech support for a monitor to be set up. He's SOL

This is probably a dead issue by now since I haven't received any e-mails from him.
Not that I'm complaining or anything but I suspect he had installation problems which he resolved. I'm very relieved.
If anyone cares...

I always meet people outside of my own house, but clearly in a place i'm familiar with, and has tons of people, like metro etc...
that way, im pretty hard to scam over.
That being said, i'd tell him to fuck off, if he ever came to my place, and that he can try to get back to the penthouse level of my apartment hahahha...

If someone wanted to sell me a monitor or a TV I'd want to see that thing working as well I wouldn't meet up at a parking lot somewhere it would be a deal breaker. It would also send off warning bells like why doesn't this guy want to show me it working?
I agree with others in this thread. The guy is probably not a scammer he either accidentally broke it in transit or he doesn't know how to hook it up.

Tell him to fuck off. He had his chance to test it out.

i would have made light of it somehow and said "make sure the monitor is plugged in properly" like they do at the helpline.

I'm almost positive it's because he doesn't have a dual-link DVI video card.
