FS: Large lot of vintage thinkpads: Texas, Pickup Only

[ashmiata1990]

Hi everyone, I hope this post is allowed as these are not my computers, I'm intermediating.

I'm currently talking to a guy who worked at a computer shop that closed down. He's now got dozens of vintage Thinkpads in various states of functionality he's looking to scrap or sell. I was initially going to buy them but realized I really do not have the room to store or transport these. He wants $200 for the lot, which he says you'll need a truck or SUV to carry it all. I've got an inventory list and photos I'll attach, although this isn't all of the computers and there are lots of spare parts.

THESE ARE NOT MY PCS, I DO NOT OWN THEM. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND A BUYER.

The lot of computers is located in San Antonio, TX, and he said he'd be willing to deliver them within a few hours radius for another couple hundred with a truck and trailer. I would hate to see all of these IBMs go to ewaste and am hoping a fellow texan with some time and storage space can help rescue these computers. I have permission to provide his phone number in PMs to interested parties. Time is of the essence here, he's looking to have them picked up late next week for ewaste.

Road trip?

Seriously, if anyone here that's nearby in Texas, who is willing and able to help let me know.

Interest has been expressed by a TX local, hoping to be able to close this out next week after pickup, but keeping this open in case it falls through.

FINAL UPDATE!

Computers have been rescued! Thanks to everyone who helped share this post, these Thinkpads are no longer going to the scrapper!

Good job! I think you can equate the number of views on this thread to the number of "NO!"s spouses gave to the idea of "rescuing" thinkpads

Just came across this. If I was currently in TX, I would've surely made the trip to connect & conserve. Maybe we can have a TX TP meet up in 2022.

They would have all probably fit in my Fleetwood, but TX is a looooong drive for me.
