My company needed a half dozen 32" monitors for a conference (to play videos, so 1080p was fine). We had some in storage, but it was cheaper to buy some new ones from Amazon (with free shipping) and dispose of them after the conference than to pay to ship the existing ones back and forth to the conference. They bought a spare one just in case one failed (they didn't) One of the employees manning the booth went to high school nearby and had arranged for someone from their AV department show up after the conference to pick up the monitors as a donation.
