my professor was talking about his packratting skills and mentioned an old ibm he had. he said it was a laptop, had a floppy drive and some type of build in printer in the back of it, and it had a lift up screen, so it must of been a thinkpad....
anyclue what this could be?

Built in printer? Sounds like the ThinkPAd 555BJ. Am I correct? I've put a link down below to a website with some pictures of it.

The best money you'd get for that thing would come from a collector, so once you find once you find out what it is, if you do put it on eBay, advertise the auction on a few technology messageboards.
Outside of collectors, I don't think there is really much value to it, shipping costs would probably outweigh what the laptops worth, so if you don't like having it around, I'd just give it to a friend or maybe to a neighbor who has a kid that could use a computer for something.
