**SOLD:** Perfect Condition ThinkPad T61

#1 Post by v00 » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:40 pm

Selling my beloved T61 simply because I just bought an ultraportable. No need to keep two.

Specs:

IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T61 w/ Standard 4:3 Screen
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Machine type: 8897CTO
Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 1.8GHz 800MHz
14.1" XGA TFT LCD Display (4:3 standard screen, not wide screen)
Windows XP professional
Intel GMA X3100 w/oWWAN
60GB HDD, 5400RPM
2GB PC2-5300 667MHZ
DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer UB-S
Trackpoint + Touchpad
Thinkpad A/B/G/N wireless
6 cell Li-Ion Battery (Only 9 cycles so far)
65w 20v AC adapter

Newly installed Brand New NMB Keyboard and Palm Rest w/ touchpad (has tricolor "IBM" logo)

Also included:
* Manual/Instructions
* Rescue & Recovery Disks
* Screw kit
* Spare palm rest (the one that has been replaced by the brand new one due to minor button problem)

Bought in August 2007. Because of the extreme care (e.g. bottom never touched surface except two paper "feet") and the new keyboard & palm rest, the entire machine is MINT/PRISTINE. No scratch, stain, break, crack, no hardware/software problems. Only carried out once. Battery almost never used. Perfect 4:3 screen with no dead pixel.

The credit card company's extended warranty covers it until mid-August 2009. I just used that warranty to replace the keyboard and the palm rest.

Pictures here.

Cash/Money order/Check. Local pick up welcome.

Is the credit card warranty transferable?

I think not since it's my cc, but I can make all the transactions for the new owner. The procedure is routine. Whatever replacement cost will be charged on my cc then reimbursed after the receipt/invoice is submitted.
P.S. cc extended warranty should expire mid August, more than a month away, in case of any problem (highly unlikely).

Admin note: Deleting your last post and re-posting in order to bump the thread before the three-day rule has expired is not allowed. Significant price drops and/or changes to the FS offer are the only exceptions to the rule.

Just saw your note. Sorry I didn't know the 3-day rule (didn't read the details).

Just a note: the current price will not last long. It will not be sold lower than this. Either the price will go back UP or I'll keep it as a backup computer. It is a flawless laptop that even the sight of it makes one happy :)

OK, note new, lower price. Just because I find myself on the go all the time with my ultraportable and really have no use of a second laptop. :roll:

I doubt you can get a used T61 (4:3) in this immaculate condition for this price anywhere else.

Would you be willing to trade the DVDRW for a CDRW/DVD-ROM drive from my T61 ? I could compensate the difference monetarily...

Not likely unless the compensation is attractive enough :wink:

Isn't this kind of pricey. I just bought a new one with similar specs for $450 (500 - 10% Bing Cashback).

Perhaps because I don't have paypal? It is truly flawless and in MINT condition. I am not exaggerating at all. Hope someone can drop by to see, test and confirm it. :)

Nice pics....The Paypal issue really is a non-issue....Money orders are usually ok with most buyers/sellers, I would think...

Good luck again :D ,

Thanks :mrgreen: I thought the lack of paypal was the main reason...
Honestly I started to think this price is too low, as this T61 has proved to be more reliable and have better build quality than either of my other two newly bought thinkpads (ultraportable).

If it wasn't the XGA screen I'll be all over this sweet-thing.
