SOLD: Anyone Interested in Buying a Thinkpad 340?

[JamesRowe]

Hey friends,

I found this website on the account that owing to an impending move, I want to get rid of an old Thinkpad 340.

The computer was very, very, very lightly used in the Summer and Autumn of 1994. It was used maybe half a dozen times, if that much, and is in excellent condition. All supporting documents (user guide, manual, et cetera) and even a still-sealed diskette package with pamphlet indicating the date of June, 1994, are included.

The computer itself is in working condition with everything working great EXCEPT the battery adapter wire has succumbed to box-wear and would require either replacement or a clever fix, on the account that unless you hold it while plugged into the computer the adapter won't work. I think a replacement would probably be better.

The computer powers on, it runs Windows 3 just fine, et cetera. Of course, before I send it out to the buyer I would be wiping the HD clean of any of the minor amounts of personal documents present on the system.

I am not looking to get rich off this deal and will entertain any reasonable offer. The purchase price must also include all shipping costs, insurance (or a signed waiver if you do not want insurance), and handling fees (the cost of the box and such). If you do not want the original box, I could put the computer directly into the shipping box, or I could fold the IBM box and put it into a box to send along with but not while the computer is in it. I myself would think someone buying this sort of thing would love the original box, though.

If you could send me off some PMs here if you're interested, I would be most obliged. I really want someone who likes these sort of computers to be able to use this, rather than just dumping it or sending it to some place to be recycled. It's in such good condition it would be a shame to waste it.

Thank you kindly.

Hello

I am also having a Thinkpad 340CSE manufactured in 1997 and is in working condition. I would have purchase to keep some spare parts but the shipping & insurance cost is not affordable as I am in India.

Thanks

Hey friends,

The move went by as expected, but it so happened that I never was able to find a suitable buyer for the IBM. As such, I am still very interested in giving it to someone who could appreciate it, and I am considering all reasonable offers from American buyers. It is prohibitively expensive to send this cross borders, but if a buyer is willing to spend that money, I can see no reason why I should oppose it.

Perhaps someone here is interested in this as a Christmas gift for a loved one or one's self?

Thanks kindly.

As per our Forum rules, you must put in an asking price (e.g. $50.- o.b.o.)

Sorry about that. I didn't read that part.

$75.00 + shipping.

Hello! I'm looking to buy Thinkpad 340. Your price is OK. Are you still willing to sell it? If yes, then just to clarify: is it the 340 model (as described here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:340) with Monochrome display? And, is it's condition still decent?

Thanks,
Sergey

Yep. The condition is fantastic. It runs perfectly and it is in fairly amazing shape.

Are you still interested in it? I am sorry to take time to get back to you. I was away on vacation and looking over my emails I missed.
