Maybe he can sell it to himself? that means he got the 699 for it and he gets to keep it!!

Is this worth 500? Apparently it has a small smudge on the screen but is only notecable when the laptop is off.

Actually i remember some of the absolutely last T42 models offered for sale were XGA models with MR9600 64MB, there were quite a few models of those, but AFAIK only introduced in the last few months before the T42 was completely phased out of production.
So it's probably a T42 with a lot of warranty left - unless it has been modded of course

Any warranty left on it ?

No but he said he'll replace a 256MB chip with a 1GB ram chip for 1256MB ram. is it worth 500 though...??

I was thinking of offering 450? he's really reluctant on going below 500.

With 1.25 GB ram, and the 64mb video card 450 is a bit low.
Try for 475.

500 with no warranty is just a tad high. If it had 3 months or so of warranty remaining, I would have said 525.
