I'm pleased to report an excellent transaction with emeraldgirl08.

I purchased a ThinkPad 600X from her a month or so ago. The drive died before she could ship it, but she was kind enough to let me know, and amend the arrangement accordingly.

The machine arrived in tact -- no thanks to the postal service (who crushed part of the outer box), but thanks instead to her *excellent* packaging -- and has passed all test with flying colors. As an added bonus, it's in even better cosmetic condition than expected, and the keyboard is as clicky and firm as ever. :D

All in all: :thumbs-UP:

Hi Rob! I am relieved that it survived the mangling!

I would like to say that Thinkrob was a pleasure to do business with and a very nice guy! Glad you like the keyboard Rob. I am in awe of how solid that series is! :)

Recently bought an item from djpharoah that had a small issue which was resolved quickly & professionally.

Also had a very satisfactory experience with Joe_Lafrieda.

Would do business with either again.

I'd like to add to George's already-stellar reputation and say that I am pleased to confirm receipt of a like-new, US-built ThinkPad T43p. The machine is in amazing condition. I seriously had to look hard for signs of wear, and had I not known the age of the compute from the parts/bottom of the machine, I might have believed it were a new "open box" unit.

It runs like a champ -- decent temps and a wonderful screen -- and I honestly couldn't be happier.

I've been delaying this long enough. I've traded with several members. To each of you: it was a pleasure doing business.

I sold my X22 to daha96 in the Ukraine. The oversea trade went very well.
I bought a HDD carrier for Ultrabay 2000 (at a great price) from underclocker.
I traded several small things with schen, twice. A very interesting person.
I sold a T20 and some memory to gb. The deal felt very professional. (Sorry the feedback is twenty-five tomorrows late.)
I sold two bland USB keyboards to force. Thanks again for taking them both.

Revised October 2010:
daha96 returned the X22. It came back in the same great shape as when I sent it. Sometimes it was difficult to communicate, but daha96 was always very polite.

More thanks to ajkula66 (George)

I am pleased to confirm receipt of a like-new, US-built ThinkPad T42p 15" Flexview. The machine is in amazing condition. I had to look hard for signs of wear and do not find any, even though George was honest enough to represent what he considered points of wear.

Shipping was fast (shipped on Saturday, arrived Monday) and packaged well.

George's reputation is well earned and deserved.

Thank you for a fine system George.

Whenever I count my blessings, I count this forum (at least) twice - as a great hideaway from daily nonsense, and as an unsurpassed market for fine ThinkPads.

This time around, my gratitude goes to

gb

Madox

RRHODY

sgardner

smidgley

ThinkRob

thubten1

for singularly pleasant transactions of all kinds.

On a very special note - the very deepest bows to my friend pianowizard for allowing me to take the legendary QXGA-modded, dead-mint T43p off his hands... :banana:

Thank you one and all.
