Looking for a x201s.
Touchpad preferred, but not required.
I would also appreciate any links to online sellers, I can't find a x201s anywhere.
Thank you!

They're pretty elusive still, but I'd recommend setting up a saved search on ebay to email you new listings whenever they turn up.
That might be the oldest search I have saved, back when I was hoping to replace my X200s. There were periods when it would be literally months until one would turn up, and always at a premium. In just the last few months though it looks like more are finally starting to turn up, a half dozen sold so far this year for $400-500.
As someone who has tracked these things like rare game for quite a while, that's what I'd recommend (and patience) if nobody turns up with one here.

Thank you for the advice, I've already set up RSS feeds for my local craigslist and ebay (if anyone is interested, they are below).
I'm glad they've come down in price, I had heard $700-$1000 was the usual price range and was even considering modding
a x201 with a AFFS+ screen, or trying to find out if there was a similar mod for x220/230.
