FS: Thinkpad 760ED in great shape with lots of extras

I basically have been using my 760ED to play old DOS games and to remote desktop to my main PC from my living room. Since right now I'm strapped for cash and DOSBox runs my old DOS games just fine, I think it's time to sell the ol' 760ED.

The laptop is in great physical condition, with only minor scratches (the kind of stuff you'd expect from a 12+ year old laptop). Works great. Here are specs, for those not familiar with the model:
  • 133MHz Pentium I
    80mb RAM
    2mb Trident video
    12.1" (I think?) TFT 1024x768x16 LCD
    MWave SBPro compatible audio
    MWave 33.6 modem
    6x internal CD-ROM
    2.1gb HD
    1.4gb HD (Yes, that's TWO hard drives. I had one for DOS and one for Win98/Linux.)
In addition to the laptop itself, I have the following accessories:
  • AC adapter
    (2x) Working Li-Ion batteries (each holds roughly a 1 hour charge)
    External 1.44mb floppy drive
    MIDI/Joystick dongle (hard to find!)
    3Com/Megahertz 3C589E 10mbps Ethernet card with X-Jack (no dongle!)
    Belkin F5D6020 ver. 2 802.11b PCMCIA Wireless card (works great in Windows 98, but gave me trouble in Linux)
I will wipe both hard drives clean before shipping, but can include/preinstall a copy of Windows 95 if desired. I have a million copies of these from flea markets and Goodwill. :P

Being an old Thinkpad with batteries and accessories, the box will likely be fairly heavy so I'm going to estimate shipping will be in the $15-20 range, depending on where it goes. I'll just charge a flat rate of $15.

I'll upload pics when I get home from work later today.

I honestly think $100 for everything is a fair deal considering all the extras, but I'm willing to haggle. :P

PM or e-mail with offers.

EDIT:

I wanted to add that this laptop is a surprisingly good performer. Firefox 2 actually ran quite well in Windows 98, and Deli Linux 0.7.3 ran beautifully.

Please add that to your profile (location field). It is a forum requirement.
Thanks!
