Excuse me if I'm wrong as I know Thinkpads are well built, but when you stack them 12-13 high like that aren't the ones on and/or near the bottom going to have screen damage from all that weight sitting on top?

It should actually be OK ... all the weight is on the rubber feet, which are near the edge, not in the middle of the cover, where the LCD is most vulnerable.

Wishful thinking on the price. All are A21's or older and most seem to be in bad shape, .e.g cracked displays etc.
