[Khipata]

Hi everyone!

Do you guys think this thinkpad really cost US $200 000?

Every time I see something like this I make an offer of $2.29.

Asking a bit too much i think

You would think for that kind of asking price the seller would use a spell checker and take a few lessons in copy and paste.

I'm sure eBay would love it if they sold it, their 15% would be great.
I wonder what the seller has to pay for listing the laptop so high.
I remember I had to pay $30 for listing my W700ds as an auction but having a price of $1400 as a buy it now.
Then again, this may be my third or fifth time I had to cancel an auction, my guess is that they wanted some of the cash for doing so.

It is in excellent condition, does that screen lay flat on the keyboard or does it stay like that for a POS sort of thing?
It is probably easier to get a working Transnote instead, maybe next year.

If one really wants this Thinkpad, It's probably cheaper to hire a private investigator to find out where the seller lives, then hire a thief to acquire the system.
