Price inquiry on some T42 parts

#1 Post by r2d2 » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:46 pm

Hi All,

Need your advise on what's the fair market value/selling price (range) for the following (must be in good condition/working/very minor signs of use/cosmetically good):
  • Keyboard
    Palm rest bezel -- bought off eBay
    Long fan
These are parts of a T42 2378-DUU if that even matters. Currently looking into eBay but would rather get from a member here... so if you are selling one or all of these... please do send a PM.

2378-DUU is a 14", so my estimates would be as follows:

Keyboard $15-20
Palmrest $20-25
Long fan $25

There are people on this forum with more accurate estimates I'm sure, but those would be what I'd expect to pay for parts in good condition
Cell phones are my specialty. Got questions? Ask away.

Thanks for the reply.. I am totally clueless when it comes to these things.

I found one part in eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-T40-T41-T42-T42 ... dZViewItem

... does that mean this one is already a bargain?

I bought a palm rest on ebay not too long ago from some guy in China. The assembly was brand new, and he had several for sale. The item was $6, and shipping was ten cents. Clearly a typo on his side, but I got it in the mail a week later. It even had the mis-spelled ENGNEERING stamp on the inside that the original Mitusibishi manufactured assemblies have. I think what you are looking at is similar to what he was selling.

I bought a palmrest from the same guy too, just remember it doesn't come with the touchpad. I don't think it's typo on shipping as he did mentioned "low shipping". I have since communicate with him again and plan to meet with him and pick up a couple more when I'm in HK next month.

Shipping was quick to Canada ( around 2 weeks ). Highly recommended.

I don't think I found that seller. I got one off eBay but for like $12 including shipping. It also says it will ship from California.
