Thinkpads Forum

Over the last months, I have had successful and nice experiences with buying from rkawakami, erik and tfflivemb2. A 560Z, a T410 and a 390X in good condition, and later a 701C in Very good condition have changed owners. This just confirms how confident one can be buying stuff from users here instead of through other sources. No worries, and you are never disappointed with what you get.

I also did a trade with automobus, which brought me a package of useful fun stuff. Thanks!

excellent deal on a lovely practically-NIB v1 TPT and accessories from erik, received literally 3 days later, thank you!!!

(edit: color needed fixing.)

sold a 701C to Norway Pad (plus a 770X a while back) with great results.   shipping overseas is always a challenge and things couldn't have gone more smoothly.   payment was quick and communication excellent.

also sold a ThinkPad Tablet to tarvoke.   payment was immediate and communication always prompt.   it was as easy of a transaction as it gets.

both are highly recommended!

received a sealed-NIB TPT dock from Neil, thank you!
works perfectly, and is exactly what I needed. well-packaged, sent very quickly! (fri/sat and arrived Monday) and I received a tracking# immediately as it was shipped.

forgot to mention - erik, as well, provided a tracking# immediately upon shipment.

great communication, guys, thanks again!

underclocker

Excellent trader! I bought a Seagate 500GB Momentus laptop drive from underclocker and the deal was smooth and fast. I got a great deal too! Fast to ship, quick communications.

yet another satisfied transaction with erik - TPTv1 folio cover, well-packaged, quickly shipped, great communication / tracking# right away. thanks once again!!

A very pleasant and hassle free transaction with Hierax_ca Glad to see my 2 600X babies get a new home.

Jedisurfer1, is a very friendly and knowledgeable gentleman. He sold me a docking station and power supply. He shipped the unit the same day that I paid him. I received it packaged very well (aka lots of bubble wrap). I would purchase from him again!

Thank you,
John

Thanks JohnD, I had a very pleasant transaction with JohnD, even talked on the phone with him. Friendly, very easy and smooth transaction, would definitely deal with again.

I just wanted to leave positive feedback for underclocker. The same day I paid him, he shipped the drive out to me. I received it today and I am happy since I want to install it in my x61s or t410i (i5).

Thank you,
John

jeez I need to come up with a form-template for these:

yet another satisfied transaction with erik - 2x 65W/20V adapters. brand new, including AC cables, well-packaged (should have taken photos, you would not believe...there oughtta be awards given for packaging like this), slight PP snafu which was my fault - easily resolved right away, quickly shipped, great communication / tracking# right away. thanks once again!!

Just wanted to share a very good buying experience with Forum Member Pizza Engineer. The package was very well packed up, it arrived safe and fast, communication was excellent and everything works.

I offered to pay something for the paypal fee and he would have none of it. The ibm 560E works perfect and is in excellent shape.

I would recommend this seller in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much!

Anyone surprised? I didn't think so.

Thank you one and all.

@ajkula66. It was a pleasure doing business with you as well! The HDD was shipped quickly, securely, and passed integrity tests as described! Cheers!

You're welcome my friend. I hope obsessively redundant packing didn't frustrate you too much when trying to get to your new LCD lol

Thank you to both of these wonderful sellers for pleasant experiences on at least one occasion!

Sold an X220 i7 16gb to Hierax_ca

Jason is great to deal with 2nd time I've dealt with him and both times it was very fast communication, very easy to deal with, trustworthy. Can't ask for more.

Thanks

Great transactions with these board members that I can recommend with confidence:

• jedisurfer1 (twice -- x61t SXGA+ and x220 both upgraded above and beyond),
• ms5133 (600x-850MHz),
• NorrisCell (A31p RAM),
• Chris001 (T43+T43p Recovery CDs/DVDs),
• TuuS (WinXP Custom-SATA DVD), and
• RealBlackStuff (twice both for rarities -- T601pFrankenpad and T43p-SATA).

I haven't been around these boards very long but so far everyone has been amazing in helping me to collect the Thinkpads of my dreams -- THANK YOU all!

Great experiences with two members!

hwattys - offered several pieces to complete my 701C as well as a nearly complete TransNote
trowabarton - worked with me to "assemble" a 701C to suit my liking within my budget

I'm a long-time forum lurker who recently joined to purchase an X301 from 91011 and I am very glad I did. Fantastic pre-purchase communications, patience in helping me configure a machine to my requirements, excellent packaging, quick shipping. The machine I received surpassed John's condition description and is working flawlessly. It was a first-class buying experience in every way, and I strongly recommend 91011.

Thanks John (JPSmith) for the nice words. I also had an excellent experience, questions were relevant and I'm glad my baby found a good home.

John

I have had the pleasure of doing business with the following folks recently.

BobA.

Brad

Khipata

It was all a pleasant experience for me of these three gentleman. Thank you guys!

John

I bought an X220 from mpcook, who has been very patient and kind while I dithered about shipping options. A pleasure to email with and buy from. Thanks Mike!

Thanks JohnD! Pleasure is all mine!
Very nice Palmtop PC 110 and excellent person!
Hope to deal with you again and wish you good health and happiness!

JohnD is a great buyer. I've dealt with John several times. I enjoy John's responsiveness and honesty .. He does what he says he'll do. Anyone selling to him can expect the same smooth transaction.
Sincerely -- BobA

I have to agree with BobA about JohnD.

He is very fair. I have said this here before. John has never paid me what I asked he has always paid more. You probably will not find that anywhere.

Have had excellent not so recent transactions with George.

Brad B.

Thanks qviri, a pleasure to work with on this.

Thanks to jedisurfer1 for working with me on the dock, and even though it did not work out, he was flexible, patient and informative.

I bought an X61T from blackpit. The price was fair, he was fast, he provided lots of high quality pictures and the condition of the laptop was exactly as advertised.

I sold a X61T to Aram. His questions were spot on and to the point, he sent the payment as soon as we agreed on the price, and was all around a joy to to do business with. Thanks for the smooth transaction and I hope you'll enjoy the laptop.

All the best,
Panagiotis
