Rule #1 of sales:  If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not
good and not true.  Giving you a monitor that sells for a minimum of
$520 plus a computer for the price of the computer alone sounds too
good to be true.  I would be happy to bet you a few bucks that you
can't actually get the monitor and the computer for $1849.

By the way, did you mean "prick" as a slur on your dealer, or did you
simply misspell "price?"
