No hookup, but does Turo (or a similar site) rent RVs?

Re: Help me find a NON-watch bargain!
Hey deal buds here's one for you: I need a relatively affordable 24" monitor for my wife to use working from home. The catch is that she has a small desk, so I'd like it to have usb-c connectivity that eliminates the need a docking station. Wirecutter recommends the Viewsonic VX2485-MHU. But it's either out of stock, price hiked to high holy heaven, or available from shady websites I don't trust. I already bought a used one on eBay that came out of the box like this:
So needless to say I'm back to square one. Right now my leading candidate is this 27" Samsung from Best Buy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-a8 ... Id=6457398 But I don't need 27" and it's still a bit more than I wanted to spend at $280.
Any ideas?

Re: Help me find a NON-watch bargain!
I did some looking but couldn't find anything promising, sorry. I find 27" very useful for having two documents or browser windows open side-by-side, so this is what I'd buy for myself if I was upgrading ($300) https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27 ... ccessories?
I couldn't find a decent-looking 24" for under $250.

Re: Help me find a NON-watch bargain!
My back is telling me I've held out on buying a new office chair for long enough. I've always been comfortable in Herman Miller Aerons, so that's what I'm going for. My budget says refurbished. Size A or B, lumbar pad, and adjustable height arms are a must. Under $600 shipped to eastern US would beat the best price I've found. Buying from a company that refurbishes and offers a warranty would be nice, instead of random Craigslist sellers. I will not buy from Beverly Hills Seating or Madison Seating due to bad reviews. Thanks for any leads!

I just saw this -- maybe you found a monitor already.

Aside from that, to reduce desk area, she might consider using a portrait orientation for her monitor. My main monitor is vertical, and I find it to be very practical.

So I ended up going with this one and paid what is generally normal price of $240.BostonCharlie wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:39 pmI just saw this -- maybe you found a monitor already.

I like it because it’s a usb-c connection. If you have a later model laptop powered by usb-c, which both my wife and I do for work, the monitor powers your laptop and plugs in with a single connection. That plus Bluetooth mouse and keyboard keeps the desk tidy.
Re: the portrait oriented monitor, I use one of them this way at work. I write a lot, and using the monitor vertically lets you see basically a whole page in word as you go.

Re: Help me find a NON-watch bargain!
Can anyone find a Raspberry Pi 4 or 3B+ for anywhere close to MSRP that is actually in stock? They seems to be OOS everywhere or like at least $150.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
I bought my Herman Miller Aeron from Rework Furniture near Chicago. They're a reliable seller if you're open to buying a refurb.
https://rework-furniture.com/
They're promoting "free" shipping on some chairs, but it looks like they've just increased the price of the chair to include it. Reasonable, and still good prices.

I ended up buying this Razer Iskur XL fabric after sitting in a regular version in pleather. The lumbar looks crazy, but wow it’s on another level if you have back pain. I had to have one.
