Jump on it (if it's not from Ebay)! That's a [censored] good deal.

Sounds like a good deal...

How about mine...?

IBM T41p 2373-GEU (Brand New Sealed)...$1915 shipped...100% positive feedback seller from Ebay...

Would take escrow...

Nowstime,

Sounds like a really good one, but it's risky. The main problem with "Ebay ThinkPads" is that you can't check for dead, or/and stuck pixels. And since it's advertised as new, sealed, you can't really ask the seller to open it and check for those [censored] pixels. And the price is too good for a GEU. It just stinks (IMO).

Be really careful with eBay...I hate to say this but here is quite a bit of fraud going on. Could be asking for trouble if the seller insists you pay by Western Union or wire transfer only...

I've purchased two Thinkpads off eBay and one was DOA. Fortunately, it was still under warranty so I sent it back to IBM to get it fixed.
