Advice: What Should I Ask For A Stripped T430s?
It's an i5. I've cannibalized the RAM and SSD into another Thinkpad. It has the extra ultrabay battery instead of the CD caddy. Both batteries are fading fast and I'd estimate less than 15% life on them. Otherwise she runs like a champ and the body/screen is in nice condition. I was running Fedora 22 on it but it's just sitting and waiting for a good home. I didn't want to pollute the Marketplace.
Re: Advice: What Should I Ask For A Stripped T430s?
Pretty hard to say, as it would depend a lot on whether I was looking to buy, or was trying to sell. But, I see several complete units have sold on eBay recently for $235 shipped with 500GB HDD and 8GB RAM. So deduct what it would cost a buyer to add HDD, RAM, new battery and maybe even an optical drive from $235 and you should be in the ball park on your machine.

Another way to ask might be... "I'm thinking of asking $X.XX, does that look like a fair amount?"

Hmmm. Yeah, I probably phrased the question wrong. I appreciate the legwork.Neil wrote:Pretty hard to say, as it would depend a lot on whether I was looking to buy, or was trying to sell.

I also had a couple PM's asking for more information and pictures. It's an Intel Core i5-3320M CPU. And here are a metric boatload of pictures:

Nice looking unit.
Does it have the Nvidia GPU? If so I am interested in taking it off your hands.
