Good morning. Found a treasure in my closet and posted this laptop for sale at eBay.
You can view it at http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-ThinkPad-Po ... 43b71d5180
It's the 6042-96D version of the ThinkPad 850 and originally sold for somewhere around $8,549 (wow).
If you're interested, send me a message here or reply to this post.
Happy Holidays!

Definitely interested but not sure where I would get the AC adapter. Any idea as to the type, part no? I am watching it on eBay.

Not sure what the part # is for the AC adapter. The plug is labeled 20V and 2.50A and has the standard 6 sided ThinkPad plug.

without looking at my 860 PPC they used the standard power supply as used on the 750/760 series.. a 4 prong 20 volt brick..
i'll have to verify that though..

@gator1 is there a hard drive in your 820..?

It is at $150+ with 5 days to go. I think it might be interesting to start a little "office pool" here on how high it will go. $1000? And worth every penny.

It's got a 810MB HDD (part # 85G0157). As best I can tell, it's the original.

Greetings. The auction ends this weekend. It's still a bargain at its current bid ($316). If you're interested, there's still time to get in on the bidding action. Thanks!

Good afternoon. Glad to see the site restored :)
The eBay auction for this 850 was an experience! To make a long story short, the item did not sell. If you're interested, send me an offer. I'm in the mood to ship this to somebody soon. Message me here and I'll reply shortly. Thanks!

That's the problem with ebay... I would guess some deadbeat bidder isn't paying :?
