Thinkpads Forum

Hey guys! I still own a few ThinkPads, but I just bought two Gateway laptops yesterday that I'm absolutely loving, and need to get a little cash back, so I decided to sell my beloved T42.

Intel Pentium M 1.8GHz
2GB of PC3200 DDR
ATi Radeon 9600
60GB 7200RPM HDD
14.1 SXGA+ Screen @ 1400x1050
Fingerprint Reader

I bought this off eBay probably five months ago for almost $600, and it only had 1GB of memory in it. I had to replace both 512's and get two 1's, and then it was finished.

The laptop came to me in PRESTINE condition. I paid extra to get one in new condition, and it had ZERO wear on the top cover, or keyboard, and it still looks new.

I looked forever to find a 14" with the high res screen, and the fingerprint reader, but it so happened that it also had the 7200RPM hard drive in it as well. I decided to keep that, because it's been just great. The battery holds a great charge, and the A/C adapter is the original as well, and looks new. I'm also going to throw in the 14" IBM sleeve as well.

I just need to get rid of it, and it's already up on eBay. If nothing falls through, I'd gladly take offers on it, or sell it to anyone on the forum.

I have pictures available, and can post them on my photobucket if you'd like.

I'm kind of lost as to the value of this laptop, but I put it up for $550 with a buy it now of $700 on eBay. If you guys want it, let me know so I can pull down the auction.

Thanks!

I'd probably recommend you add a link to your auction. It seems as well that there's a rather big lull when it comes to selling machines here in the Marketplace, so keep that in mind when you frame an asking price for potential buyers here (I would suggest that it may be difficult to recoup your entire purchase price based on this). Also, what's the model number and is there any warranty remaining?

There ya go.

I was getting to that. I was going to reply with the link and info, but got distracted.

It's a 2373 by the way. I believe the warranty that was on it just ended a month or two ago... I was never worried about that anyway, and it's one reasons why I've been buying T40, T41's, and T42's for so long. I've never had an issue with any of them!

I also have the restore CD's for the laptop, and just restored it back to the point where you can setup WindowsXP and put in your username. It's nice and clean!
