Well, it seems my ThinkPad 760E is just unsellable, I can't find a single soul to buy it anywhere, even here (I've tried many times to sell it here infact) so I'm going to try something new. I'd like to get ahold of some different vintage ThinkPads to play around with since I've already had my fun with the 760 series. I'm looking to trade this laptop for any Pentium class ThinkPad or for a 700, 720 or 701 or any model with a P or V at the end of the name. I'll also consider various 755 model ThinkPads.

The ThinkPad 760E I have here is in much better shape than it was last time I tried selling. It has the expected scuff marks and paint wear, not to mention a small crack in the corner of the LCD housing but is other wise a great little machine. The LCD was just recently replaced (the new one is VERY bright and crisp), Windows and Officxe XP are installed, the RAM is at 48mb and the CPU which was originally a Pentium 120 has been upgraded to a Pentium 133 and I can add the option of upgrading to a Pentium 166 MMX. The overall operating condition of this machine is simply excellent; Windows boots up and runs smoothly and without a hitch and Office XP is quick and responsive. While this computer is no speed demon per say, she's reliable and is up to just about any mundane everyday small computer task. This computer also has a fully functional original Lithium Ion battery that holds it's charge for anywhere between an hour and two hours depending on usage.

BUMP...

Well, maybe this thing is unsellable. Since there's little interest, I'm going to change things some more.

The deal is now either I want to sell this or I want to buy a 760 bottom shell in good shape so I can replace the one that's on now. I also would like to get a modem cover as well. If anyone is interested in buying or trading for this computer, or if anyone has a modem cover and/or bottom shell, please replay or PM me, thanks. I would also like to get a wristpad with minimal scuffs and screw covers for the keyboard and LCD.

EDIT: The 760E I have has been upgraded to have the ESS soundcard instead of the notorious mWave modem/audio combo and the CPU has been further upgraded to a Pentium MMX 166.
