I sold some 390X parts to bolshoi2007. Fast payment

I made a trade with ajkula66 for a laptop hard drive.Drive is newer then i thought,and was shipped out fast.Also tossed in a few extra small parts for a bonus.--Thanks again.The A22p should be here this week sometime,I'm sure it's in better shape then what thinking.
*EDIT* The A22P showed up today.Great shape.Thanks for the deal and getting me into the UXGA club.Man the 1600x1200 lcd is nice.Next laptop for me i guess is the A31P.

Sold a 600X to glenn778 payment was fast.He got a great deal.

Theres a few more that i'm forgeting ,sorry,But every one i have delt with on this forum has been great.

It's funny but i have no problem sending someone on the forum money for a laptop hoping they send it to me.
But i would now do it for anyone here in town or close to me.If i say a laptop in a add here in town.I got burned a few times buy buying stuff here in town.

This is a great forum to buy thinkpad stuff from.To bad it just takes so long to get things sent up here.

Dealing with Bill, aka SaberX is always a pleasure. A guy who is willing to bend over backwards to get what he wants, and has no problem waiting for it is quite a rarity these days. We always make unusual deals, but both of us are usually happy with outcome... :beer:

You're on a good path to having the most-loaded A22P ever, my friend. Take it slow and enjoy the addiction to UXGA...

All the best,

I bought an X30 from George (ajkula66) for my friend, and he gave me a beauty! He shipped VERY fast, and took very good care to pack the machine as always. It is a pleasure buying from George.

And it goes without saying that Sri aka gator was fast to persuade his friend that my X30 was the thing to have...and made sure that money was sent before anyone had the slightest chance of changing their minds...

So, kudos to gator for another great deal as well as for a good deed! :thumbs-UP:

Aaron (Stargate199) communicated very well about the T41 purchase, and was great to work with. He paid on time as promised and is a very honest buyer.

Got a sweet 6 cell from MD_Lieber:

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=45788

Battery was only 10 cycles and had 50.81 out of 51.83Whrs total.

The AC Adapter works like a charm also.

Very fair prices and was prompt to address all questions.

I had the best purchase experience of my life last week. If I don't write a feedback for this, I am sure that the gods will punish me and take away all my thinkpads.

I bought a T23 and a 600X from Ray (rkawakami) and the experience was better than when I bought a new T60 from lenovo. Ray was very very helpful and made sure that I got exactly what I wanted. He took paintstaking care to let me know EVERYTHING about the machines in advance, and tested the laptops very thoroughly before he shipped them. His communication was excellent and he was very patient with me and my myriad doofus questions. For used laptops, both machines are in EXCEEDINGLY good shape, and will last me for years!

Ah shipping, yet another happy story - he shipped the machines on friday/saturday and they were at my door monday morning.

People here know this already, but I will say this for forum newcomers: you won't get fired for buying from Ray.

Thanks Sri!

gator communicated his wants and needs very effectively and was a pleasure to work with. He was very patient while I was going through my checkout procedures and paid right on schedule. Highly recommended!

As to the shipping, thank the USPS for their excellent Priority Mailing service!

AllTPedOut's payment for my 9-cell battery was super fast, and he also notified me of his receipt of the battery very quickly. It was a very smooth transaction.

I Recently purchased a complete 570e with ultrabase from ajkula66. The system arrived in great condition and very well packaged. The price was great and everything went as smooth as possible. I ended up purchasing this system for a friend and for a while I was contemplating swapping it for one of my T23's. :D

Once again, a very smooth transaction with Kaervak-extremely easy to deal with, fast payment, exemplary patience...highly recommended in all aspects of business...

May your friend enjoy the 570E, I'm glad you haven't swapped your T23 for it...as nice as that 570E is, T23 still rules the roost in <$250 market, at least in my book...

All the best.

Received a partially-stripped (as per my request) T42 from syed. The laptop has arrived as described, professionally packed, and just 2 days after it has been paid for. Highest recommendations for a gentleman seller. I know I'll conduct business with this forum member again, and am encouraging others to do the same.

All the best, my friend. Now I have a T42 running Linux with 1.5Gb RAM and my God does it run like a deer or what...

Thanks ajkula66. Your fast payment deserved a fast shipping. :beer: to an easy deal!

T42 are perhaps my favorite ThinkPads thus far. Good luck with your new toy.

I purchased a T42 from syedj on July 18 and received it on July 21. I am very happy with it and the seller. He was extremely helpful to someone who is not very knowledgeable about computers in general and ThinkPads in particular. Thank you!
