Additional moderator edit: Just because there's some interest (??) in this, I've reduced the size of the images; ~500KB was WAY too much for this thread.

Junk. The seller should pay you to take this obsolete load.

This is a great starter lot to build a basic Thinkpad museum!

I'm going to show these pics to Mrs. Yak so she can no longer say I'm the only one that has a "room from hell"! At least none of MY cords are tangled!

Yes, please. Without proof your claims are baseless.

It's not often you get a free garage clean out day. Be glad.....

scosgt1 · #26 Post by **scosgt1** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 2:46 pm

Interestingly, that is around $18.00 each, plus all the adaptors and parts. If you had the time and inclination, you could probably double your money just selling the stuff on Ebay. But it takes a lot of time, maybe for a retired person who has the time to devote to it. Labor costs would be too high to make money paying someone to do it, which is why they sell the stuff off like this.

I don't know how I missed this part of the auction before:

eBay auction wrote:Warranty
Items are sold: Tested Dead, AS-IS

Are they saying that they are all DEAD?!?!?! Then this obviously is no deal....

#30 Post by **rkawakami** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 11:59 pm

Yes, it was in the original auction description as well. Along with a claim that "previous customers report that 2-4% are usually unsalvagable." How much additional material each system needs to be revived is another question. At the current price, they're now under $14 apiece. Such a deal!
