It does look cool, but I think the last thing I want on my wall is yet more 'news'.

I was about to say something similar about the price; for that money I can just stick the newspaper itself up on the wall.

OTOH if the display is already 2300EUR, I can't see how the OP can possibly make any money on this, especially with free global shipping, returns, etc, etc.

I don't think they are making money out of this. The display is 2300€ without VAT and the OP is selling them with 2783€ with 21% VAT, so it's exactly the same price.

I assumed that they are able to buy the displays at some kind of wholesale/discounted price?
