I saw this on eBay, the saddest looking lot of T21 and T22 machines I have ever seen:

I can't help but wonder what kind of lives these machines must have had...

Horrible, but I'll bet you could salvage the trackpoint caps from the 3 with keyboards!!

Yep...that's what heppens when the guy in front of you on the plane puts his seatback really far down.

I ran across another lot like that from the same seller a day or two ago. Soon as I saw missing LCDs and keyboards, I hit the "delete tab" button.

The Buy-It-Now price is pretty good though, $58 shipped for all four. I think one can make some money by selling them for parts. The COA stickers and LCD cables alone are worth almost $58.

Go for it!

(As Ray is still busy prepping one system and ALMOST done...)

edit: Actually since there's only about 40 minutes left for this one, I'll mention this one:

At over $500 (shipped FL->CA) for those 9 completely stripped T23s which do not power up, I don't know if that's such a good deal or not. I guess if you could revive at least four or five of them then it might pay off. I emailed that seller to ask about the type numbers, LCDs and physical conditions but never heard back.

It's true, although some of the lots are clearly not good deals, generally we can get some nice bargains on eBay in the states... though caveat emptor is definitely the name of the game!

I love the description :

"Condition: Used"

Is it possible that the letters "ab" were left out?
