GONE: TPs (no longer) looking for new homes

[ECarlson]

Dear all,
Like Bill Morrow, I have a collection of TPs that need new homes, including:
70l C TPs - 3 units
340 TP
560E
20 TP
640 TP
plus TP 30, TP 60
Each of these no longer a working unit. Anyone interested in just the hardware?

I would be interested in 701C, that is the butterfly, right ?

[Nirvana09]

I was waiting for a mod to come chew his butt about prices before shooting off PMs.

[H-Atkinson]

I'd be interested in the 701s, what sort of shape are they in? Pics would be great, the plastics on those tend to disintegrate and the coatings go sticky.

Each of these no longer a working unit. Anyone interested in just the hardware?

Do we understand this correctly, that you mean we can have those just for shipping costs?

[solidpro]

OP has one post, uses frankly odd descriptions, no prices and IMHO dodgy AF.

[theterminator93]

If OP returns to clarify and set pricing, I could use another 701c to refurbish the plastics on mine.

An admin might be able to cross reference the OP IP address with the profile location.

@ECarlson: what gives?

[Edward Mendelson]

For what it's worth - possibly irrelevant - there's an e-mail address that begins "ecarlson" listed at the StopForumSpam site, from December 2023:

https://www.stopforumspam.com/search

and enter "ecarlson".

[solidpro]

Who has 3 x 701c machines and then refers to a 640 TP or a TP30?

Probably only accepts bitcoin or Western Union.

OP has a different email and IP, not (yet) found on stopforum.

I am interested in the 560E, and the 20 and 340, and maybe the 60 depending on what it is (need more info).

Is it possible that someone has borrowed a new username from this account:

[RealBlackStuff]

Nice sleuthing, Watson!
Could be the same person, registered in 2004, last active in 2010, forgot she had an account already.
Let's give it a few more days.

[ECarlson]

Yes, I am in Minnesota. Have been fascinated with Thinkpads ever since owning the first 701C. Helped friends buy this model from Bill Morrow back when this website was first started. Now am downsizing everything. I am a novice at collecting, so have not been active in acquiring or selling.

[RealBlackStuff]

Welcome back after all these years!

Please let us know how you plan to dispose of your collection.
Any which way, forum rules require you to put up selling prices, even if they would be freebies for shipping cost.

[solidpro]

Ok, I stand corrected. We all have to be careful and the 1 post, no response, nobody knowing the name thing is often a red flag.

FYI, the 701c has become rather collectible, even in non-working condition. If they're aethetically nice, don't undersell yourself!

[RealBlackStuff]

70l C TPs - 3 units
340 TP
560E
20 TP
640 TP
plus TP 30, TP 60

These would be my suggested/possible changes:
Available ThinkPads:
701c - 3 units
340
560E
640 (640 TP ???)
T20 (20 TP ???)
T30
T60

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[solidpro]

What's a 640?

[RealBlackStuff]

Ask Elaine!

[ECarlson]

My apologies for not getting back to this sooner. These are all still available and I need to have them gone soon, as I can no longer store them in my downsized apartment. I would like to get something for the 701C (butterfly keyboards - two with batteries, one without) as these are the most collectable of the group and am open to any offer + you pay shipping. All of the others can be had for the cost of shipping. These will most likely go to the electronic recycler if I can’t find a good home. Thank you!

[dj.dule]

I am still interested in 701C with butterfly keyboards but cannot send you PM. Can you get back to me what would be the price and if you know estimated shipping costs to Ireland?

[eliot]

Same as my predecessor, I'm interested in the 701Cs, but can't send PMs. Please reach out if you still have them for sale.

[JPOESQ]

Message sent to OP on 4/14 and it’s still in the outbox.

[solidpro]

Biggest tease ever.

[Nirvana09]

I've had garbage luck buying from here lately.

and I'm sure this is just a troll.

[JPOESQ]

No, it's not a troll. Everything is gone now (confirmed). We were just too late.
