Price Check: Upgraded T40

[xsauronx]

I bought a T40 a year and a half ago, I needed something faster and bought a T60 the other day (yay!)

I didnt know if price checks were generally allowed here, I saw one so I figured I just as well ask (I came here looking for recovery CD's for the T60, maybe the T40)

Im not sure where/how I'll set it at the moment, I have a few ideas. Its been a solid machine as long as Ive had it.

Heres the specs:

Radeon 7500, XGA
40GB HDD
1.5GB RAM (1x1gb & 1x512mb)
Pentium M 1.5ghz
CD-R/W
Intel 2915 A/B/G (upgraded from original B-only)
Batteries: 2 6 cell. One holds ~45 minutes with wifi on;
one holds ~1:50 minutes with wifi on.
OS: I dont have recovery CDs, and the recovery Partition was gone when I bought it (ditto on the T60, wth is with some people?).

I run Xubuntu, Ubuntu works pretty well also. Theres an XP Pro CoA, however.

Condition:

The upper USB port is broken. Technically, it works...but the plastic piece is gone, so when used the wires usually touch and short, which turns off the unit. I though I had it fixed once but the plastic came out again and I gave up. Lower port works fine.

Exterior: Decent condition, except for a small ~3/4" shallow/narrow gouge that just goes into the metal casing on the exterior of the lid. A coworker threw a large-ish bracket at me in the work van. Ugh.

If Im amiss posting this, I apologize, I didnt see it prohibited in the rules. If you have any input, Thanks!

I would remove the 1GB chip and keep it or sell it separately. Otherwise with these issues it's somewhere around $250-260 range.

really? the ram cant be worth *that* much, and I dont have a need for a 1gb stick of notebook ddr. everything else here is modern enough to use DDR2

thanks for the input

1GB DDR1 sticks are no longer worth much money, e.g. it was on sale for $15 after rebate on Frys the other day. Considering the USB issue, the low-res display, small hard drive, cosmetic blemishes, the fact that the optic drive can't read DVDs, etc., I'd say it's worth no more than $220. Try to get a copy of the recovery discs, which might increase the laptop's value by $10.
