R60 Price Check- T5600 C2D, 15" SXGA, 3GB RAM, 128MB X1400

[virge]

AC adapter included, HDD is a 80GB and 7200RPM. This is a CTO machine so the 7 digit machine type isn't helpful. The three year warranty runs out December of this year. Minor scratches and scuffs, but nothing broken. Missing one rubber foot which should be replaceable under warranty.

I did a search of the marketplace and there have only been a few R60 machines offered for sale. Also, the R60 seems to come in a wide variety of configurations and getting comparables for a price check proved difficult.

I would like some opinions as to the value of this machine. Even if its just a range that would be helpful. After getting some feedback, I will create a a FS post. I am not asking for offers at this time, just opinions as to value.

Edit: Just called Lenovo for warranty service on the foot and mentioned that the LCD looked a bit dim. Will be sending it in on Monday.

Virge, I'd say $325 on this forum, possibly more on EBay.

I'm with Harry on this one for the most part, the only difference being that I don't believe that feebay would yield you more $$$...

What a perfect IPS-upgrade-candidate, BTW...

Does all 15" sxga+ R60s have IPS panel already?

[Harryc]

I would say no, according to the Wiki -

None of them have an IPS LCD, unless you install one yourself.

Thanks for the input guys. I just got the machine back from the repair depot-- LCD replaced, but they forgot the rubber foot.

Thread can be locked. I will put up a FS when the foot gets here.
