"Like New" T23 eBay pictures

[Thinker]

Hi,

First of all thanks to Bill and everyone in the group that has given me their support. That means a lot to me.
I have uploaded some pictures to my personal website so that you can see the condition of this laptop for yourselves. Feel free to let me know what you think.

First, some pictures of the OUTER CASING. Is this what a like new T23 is supposed to look like?

Let's now open the laptop and check out the SCREEN (off), and the KEYBOARD):

If you feel like playing detective, what is this substance supposed to be?

I forgot that a like new Thinkpad should always have a STUCK LATCH:

The INTEL STICKER on a Like New T23 should be in this condition:

Ok, just for kicks let's turn the computer on and see the SCREEN ON. Notice the nice bright spots (background diffusor foil damage, anyone?)
Not bad for a screen described to me as "perfect, with no faults":

Let's take a look at the PORTS, which should be clean. By the way, could anybody familiar with a T23 in new condition (really in new condition) tell me if that is a missing part in the first picture?

These next 2 pictures need to be retaken (they are blurry)

Finally, let's look at the BOTTOM. Ironically, it is the best part of this ThinkPad. But still not new. There are two scratches, one of which can be seen on the bottom right of this picture:

Let me know if you require more detailed pictures. I will fixed the blurred ones and upload them later.
