Price and Shipping

I'm asking for $450 USD and I only accept PayPal for your and my protection. I will ship USPS insured, for free, within the United States only.

Feedback

My eBay username is aixinjueluoxuanye (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... llFeedback). I am a long-term member on NotebookReview (http://forum.notebookreview.com/) and have recently sold a laptop and bought a flash drive there. Also, I have lots of feedback on a plastic aircraft modeling site. Feel free to search for my username in the "Good Trader Alert" section there: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php I know everyone is wary of buying from a new member, so if you are a prospective buyer please contact me via PM and we will work something out to establish your trust in my credibility.

Reason for Sale

I recently bought this ThinkPad R61 and shortly thereafter found a nicely configured ThinkPad T400 and bought that, so I no longer have a use for this machine.

Condition

The laptop is in very good condition. Only the touchpad, spacebar, and corners are slightly worn. There are some very faint scratches on the top cover. Other than these there are no cracks, scratches, paint chips, or any other blemishes as far as I can tell. There factory warranty recently expired.

I can configure this laptop according to your desire (install/uninstall softwares etc.) or leave it up to you to configure it for yourself. It looks like the previous owner installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Home Basic, along with some ThinkVantage and basic necessity softwares. I have only installed some benchmarking softwares and will remove those before I ship it. The 2.4 GHz CPU is very snappy and is a major upgrade over the T2500 in my Dell.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!

Just to give the potential buyers something to consider:

This 14.1" R61 is a very nice laptop. In terms of case design, materials, thickness and weight, it is virtually indistinguishable from a 14.1" T61. The R series has a reputation of being inferior to the T series, in these aforementioned features, but this does not apply to 14.1" wide models R61/R400.
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

Thanks for the friendly advice dr_st. Yes indeed, the R61 is almost indistinguishable from my T400 when the two are placed side-by-side. I heard good things about its build quality, including the fact that the 14" even has the same screen roll cage protection as the 14" T61.
