You could get taken for a $1 if you aren't careful.
Ask specific questions. I am not sure what an 'active' monitor is, but I'll assume you mean LCD. Ask about if it's digital or analog, how many inputs, does it have USB inputs, etc., refresh rate, all the things you should know if you really owned it.
Be careful. I am exchanging emails with a scammer right now, asking him specific things and he's just cut and pasting from the product information. So I've asked him to take a picture of himself holding a specific part of the bike. That would be hard to fake.
And that only get's you over the first mountain. Then you have to worry about them shipping it (although I don't know anyone that got scammed after they knew it was real - most people are fundamentally at lesat slightly honest).
BE CAREFUL!!
Oh, and I also knew through someone, someone that fell for the Nigerian scam! That one's amazing! Lost several thousands. Man, always someone waiting around the corner.
