Thinkpads Forum

+1 for tgrevers. Purchased a dock from and it arrived quickly and packed securely. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

Admin note: Merged separate thread into this one.

I agree, he's a great seller and an asset to our community, but you really should post this in the feedback thread where it's more likely to be seen in the future.

Forum member Tuus is a valuable asset to this forum- no doubt about it! He has been extremely helpful in a couple of instances when I posted a WTB thread in the marketplace here on TPF. Thanks to another seamless transaction I now have the rubber rails I needed for a T400 I am working on. Thanks again Tuus! It's been a pleasure

+65535 for TuuS (Don), who delivers on his word, and goes far more than the extra mile!

That is a Beautiful T61 6363-Y64 Don - and in like new condition.

Glad you went this route rather than the high price item you were looking at before. I'm guessing not only did you get a much better machine but you dealt with a true assest of this forum too.

@emeraldgirl, Thank you it's always a pleasure to deal with you. We've traded so many parts back and forth, many smuggled in 1st class envelopes to save on shipping.. such as ram chips, screws, random pieces etc... glad to help you keep your systems running without breaking your budget. I know what it's like as a full time student, I lived on Ramen noodles for weeks at a time, breakfast lunch and dinner all under $1 lol keep it up, you're going to go far and these will be some of your fondest memories, I was glad to help in any way I can.

@ CadillacMike, I'm honored to help one of our Soldiers (and I use the term correctly since mike is ARMY) serving our country. All our transactions have been great and you got one special machine there, hopefully the desert sand won't bring any harm to her, but worse case I got any parts you may need to fix her up if need be and you have over a years warranty left on her if anything fails.

@ Cigarguy, Thanks for the kind words. Mike got one from my personal collection, an Intel based system with Penryn cpu that was special ordered in the end of sept 2008, about a month after the line was discontinued and still has over 1yr of onsite warranty left. It was the closest thing lenovo ever built to the T61/T61p frankNpads I was building that were so popular. With the Penryn cpu and intel graphics, it's the perfect machine to deal with the desert heat. I also recently had Lenovo replace the fan and hinges and give it a complete refurb under warranty, so it's good to go. We all can wish her (and Mike) a safe return from the battlefield as we do for all our servicemen and women.

ps. I've had many many recent transactions that I really need to put together a list to thank all the members, everyone here has been great and I'm pleased to help anyone I can, be it a couple rubber rails smuggled in a 1st class letter, or a beautiful and rare T61 off to join the army.

So That's why the hinges are so tight! And the Fan too! Excellent Sep 2008, that's about the same time I ordered my Wife's 8897 with SXGA+ (Actuator arm on her T30's HDD broke). I've since become more familiar with T61s. Well again, Thanks.

A batch of feedback for very good traders:

I bought a software license from TuuS,
a capacious little hard disk from miketoro,
a big a lovely ThinkPad from the FlexView farmer ajkula66.
I sold a PATA hard disk to tom lightbody,
and a PC Card to cadillacmike68.

Thank you, everyone.

Many thanks to zenlunatic for a deal on some RAM. Justin's a straight-up guy, honest, with good communication, secure packaging and quick shipping!! Would not hesitate to deal with him again!

Great experience with AllTPedOut. He was a great buyer. Prompt payment and responsive to PMs. I wouldn't hesitate to trade with him again!

Thanks for recent transactions goes to Daniel (Thinkpad Lover), George (ajkula66) and others.

Many thanks to TuuS for an R61 in excellent condition I recently bought!

Hi there,

Just like to report very positive and helpful dealings with Tuus and RealBlackStuff. Highly recommended

Thanks Don and Dominic!

Hi All,

New member here. I would just like to say thanks to Senior Member Peak2Peak for a great price and rapid delivery of a Merlin XU870 ExpressCard modem. A perfect transaction and a 100% recommend.

Regards

David

i will mention tuus, good products and info thanks.

Another excellent transaction with NorrisCell. My new T400 arrived this morning -- beautiful condition and packed like a baby -- Thanks very much -- can't wait to start playing with it

Tuus -

Thanks for the motherboard. It is installed and up and running well. No hesitation at all to do business with you again or recommend you to others.

Regards,
Matt

A big thumbs up for RealBlackStuff, who supplied a new SXGA+ LCD and did a great SATA mod to a T43 board and then generously helped me troubleshoot unrelated problems when reassembling the machine.

I would like to return the compliments to kremin and fasterbybike.
It was a pleasure dealing with you guys, come back anytime!

TuuS

It's been a pleasure to say the very least, gentlemen...thank you one and all...

For TuuS. Awesome buying experience, product exceeded expectations, super fast shipping!

Many thanks for what you do for the community.

Thanks

It seems we've all drank the TuuS kool-aid here.

I'd like to chip in that he's one of the most accessible and approachable sellers present at TPs.com, and echo that he's not satisfied until you are. I'd certainly do business with him again.

I drank it too, both buying and selling, great guy!

Thanks to forum brother underclocker for a quik and efficient transaction on a real nice E420 A pleasure to deal, answered all my dopey questions and I was in possesion of within 48 hrs !

Thank you to all who have left me such wonderful feedback, it's an honor to serve the community here.

@ tennernie, glad to help you with your motherboard and I wish you many of years of use from it. Our transaction was flawless and I recommend you to anyone.

@ ajkulla66, we've had so many trades/deals it's hard to keep track of them all, but they have all served not only each other, but others here as well who end up with the creations of such evil masterminds

@ Fixed_Rider, a flawless transaction and I'm glad I was able to exceed your expectations.

@ Radioguy, Thank you very much... took a couple tries to get your order right, but I wasn't about to rest until it was, thank you very much for your patience

@ mpcook, Indeed, we have had several transactions, buying, selling, trading, and I'd recommend you to anyone.


Thanks to all and keep the orders coming in, there is plenty of koolaid to go around


TuuS

ps. Also thank you to the countless others whom I've had good transactions with, you all make this more then a website, it's truly a community, even a family,
and thanks most of all to Bill, for hosting this great forum

A warm thanks goes to TuuS not only for the battery's perfect quality/price ratio but for dealing with a peculiar case like mine: accepting to mail the battery to a hotel address for someone flying in and out of the US for 5 days or so. This transaction could not become smoother than that. Highly recommended to anyone, I wish he was based in Europe instead

ilakast, I must admit I've never done such an odd transaction, but due to battery mailing regulations it was easy to understand why you were asking so I was glad to do anything I could to help. I'm thrilled your battery survived the trip and you're happy with it. If you ever need anything else, just ask. It's not likely I'll be moving to europe, but if we can gather all your future needs into one package, the shipping shouldn't be that bad.

Thanks for an interesting exchange

This post is for RealBlackStuff and the Boardroom!
The SATA Mod is AWESOME! I cannot recommend the RBS and the Mod enough.
Service was fantastic. The turnaround time was very impressive!
My daughters T43p arrived today, I read the information note left inside and dropped in a new OCZ Agility 3 60gb SSD, plugged in my Win8 USB stick and straight away I was in heaven. Unit boots in 25 seconds to the full desktop with anything else from me (I may check firmware updates for the SSD later!).

RBS YOU ROCK! Thank you for keeping me informed and guiding me throughout the process.

Edited for clarity!
All of you whom are contemplating this mod..... HAVE IT DONE by The Board Room it is worth it in every way!

Positive feedback for TuuS.

It not about the lowest price but the best quality. TuuS came thorough with prompt shipping and a good quality x60 battery. Thank you

A bump for clarity!

I edited my post about RBS and the SATA Mod. I meant don't contemplate doing it, get it done!!!!!!

My apologies RBS!
