FS: X31/1.4GHz Systems - Cheap(er)

I have some more X31/1.4GHz Thinkpads that are tested and ready to sell. Some of these have minor defects on the LCDs, so I am selling them more cheaply.

As usual, I am giving options to specify memory, hard-disk size, WiFi (802.11), and a new battery. For further information on what the X31 systems are like, please see the links below. None of these systems have warranty on them. I have thoroughly tested them and guarantee them to not be D.O.A. I will support any immediately occurring problems as best I can.

Each Thinkpad X31 comes with:
Genuine IBM ‘GREEN’ battery
Genuine IBM AC adapter
Hitachi Travelstar hard-drive (unless otherwise noted)
US keyboards (I have UK keyboards if desired – otherwise, I do not have access to non-US keyboards)
Windows XP Pro C.O.A. (unless otherwise noted)

Following are the Thinkpads currently available for sale:
”BARE” system price is with no memory, no hard-disk, only 802.11b WiFi
BARE -- STD -- System
$230 -- $280 -- X31-69, PM 1.4GHz, 512M/PC2700, 40G/5400rpm – Screen has a little ‘mottling’ (faint whitish areas) in the center of the screen. It is barely noticeable but is there.
--- SOLD --- X31-96, PM 1.4GHz, 512M/PC2700, 40G/5400rpm - LCD has one small white spot on the left side of the screen - send email address for pics
--- SOLD --- X31-97, PM 1.4GHz, 512M/PC2700, 40G/5400rpm - no LCD defects
--- SOLD --- X31-98, PM 1.4GHz, 512M/PC2700, 40G/5400rpm - LCD has one very small scratch (barely noticeable) in the middle of the screen - send email address for pics

All of the above systems are tested and ready to ship within one day after receipt of funds.
*** Shipping to the US will be $20 (2-3 day USPS Priority mail)
*** Shipping to Europe will be $50 (6-10 day) or $65 (5 day)
I take MoneyBookers (prefer) or Cashiers Check or PayPal (least prefer).

I have two ultrabases that each have problems that don't affect their operation.

On one, the battery latch is broken (on the back) - so you can't remove the battery cover or battery (if it were there). The ultrabase works fine other than that.

The other one has a rattle inside - like a piece of plastic is broken off. I can't figure what that is and everything otherwise works fine.

I would sell either of those for $30 with a DVD/CDRW.
