Thinkpads Forum

I have some T40/T41/T42 Thinkpads that are tested and ready to sell. Most of these have SXGA LCDs - one has XGA.

I am giving options to specify memory, hard-disk size, WiFi (802.11), and a new battery. For further information on what the T4x 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.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT SELLING OPTIONS WITHOUT SYSTEMS. I don't have that kind of supply.

Each Thinkpad T40/T41/T42 comes with:
Genuine IBM ‘GREEN’ battery (NEW battery available at extra cost)
Genuine IBM AC adapter
Hitachi Travelstar hard-drive (unless otherwise noted)

I just sent you a PM.

Bump

I have several others I am getting ready to post as well. If you have something you are interested in that isn't listed, please let me know.

Also, I am willing to reduce the prices a little bit on the XGA system(s) if you are interested.

Bob

If the XGA machine is still available I might be interested. Or if you have a spare CD/RW drive for my T40 . . .

Thanks
David

I recently bought an X32 from Bob and can vouch that he takes care to describe his merchandise accurately. I'm well pleased with my X32

David:
I have two XGA systems still available. I may have a spare CDRW drive - I'm not at home right now but will answer on that later this evening.

I'm reducing prices a little bit on the XGA systems. Please let me know if you're interested.

Sincerely -- Bob

I second that. I actually managed to snag a T40 from this list before it was posted and it is absolutely immaculate. If you weren't told otherwise, you wouldn't think it was anything but brand new.

FasterByBike and NorrisCell. Thanks for the good endorsements. It was good to do business with you both - VERY smooth transactions. Thanks.

Anyone else interested in a T4x series system or an X3x series system, please let me know your needs and we will try to work something out.

Sincerely -- Bob

Will be contacting you for one of these units very soon.
