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

Thanks for the reply.. I am totally clueless when it comes to these things.
I found one part in eBay...

... 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.

Did yours arrive in a box smothered in stamps?
