Is this the same as the other 16:9 monitors being sold on eBay?

The price is less than most of the others but I'm not familiar with the term "Bortmonitor"

Looks like a good buy to me. BMW calls it a Board Monitor in some documents.

THe price is good but 82 dollars to ship? That makes the price just about even with everyone else.

That's why they do it. It's a popular scam - a low price for the item with ridiculously high shipping. Technically it's a violation of eBay policy because it's a form of fee avoidance - you only pay eBay fees on the selling price, not the shipping cost - but eBay doesn't seem to care anymore.

BTW, "bordmonitor" is German for "on-board monitor."

I wrote the guy asking for a break on the shpg but haven't heard back. The item's in Maryland and I'm only down the road in Virginia. Doesn't seem like 80+ bucks is right.
