Trying to downsize and I have a few Thinkpads in unknown working status I would like to pass on.
I have a T40, T41, and a T42. These are all untested. The T42 has a broken hinge. None of the computers have a HDD. There is one CD drive included and 2 batteries (unknown condition).
Please message me for a shipping quote from DC. Let me know if you want pics.

Re: Free: T40, T41, T42
Are they still available and would you ship it to Europe? On my expense of course.
Re: Free: T40, T41, T42
Hi - yes they are still available. I can ship wherever. Please send me a message and I will get you a shipping quote.
Re: Free: T40, T41, T42
Also interested. I live in the US (Boston area).
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to send private messages due to my low post count, but I still may be able to receive messages.

Hi everyone.
Apologies for being somewhat non-responsive over the last year. I still have these available and I really would like to pass them onto someone instead of recycling them. I do need to get rid of them though, and possibly some other Thinkpads in my collection but those will come later.
These are still available for FREE + shipping. All 3 weigh about 13-14 lbs altogether and are shipped from 20011 if you want to estimate shipping costs.
I've uploaded pics here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... drive_link (fixed permissions so all should be able to view pics now)

I would be very interested and love tinkering these days. I'm at 95687. Currently unemployed for a long time so cannot cover shipping :/Rob wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2026 9:29 pmHi everyone.

Re: Free: T40, T41, T42
Hi, thanks for your generous offer! Do you believe these ThinkPads are more likely to be close to working, or most likely too broken to be salvaged and hence good for parts?
In the latter case, I'm interested in obtaining the keyboards (only) for a keyboard DIY project.

Re: Free: T40, T41, T42
Not sure. I would think they could probably be salvaged, but I haven't tried using them. I got them for free in the condition they are and haven't done anything with them.ThiccPadBoy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2026 11:10 amHi, thanks for your generous offer!

Hey there! I am fairly knew to this forum but have used guides and references from this site since i was in high school running my family t420
I’m located right outside fairfax if there is anyway we could do a coffee meetup or something in that nature? I’m always trying to save old tech from getting thrown into another “Mount Trashmore” lol. i’m not familiar with how this forum works but i will keep double checking the post if this is something you would be interested in.
best regards

Hi,
are those thinkpads still available?
How much does it cost to ship to NY?
Thanks in advance (and also thanks for the very generous offer)!

Hi - Sorry, been busy the last couple weeks.
Laptops are still available. Weight is around 14 lbs and they are shipping from 20011 if you want to estimate shipping costs. My guess is $30-50, depending on where in the country you are.
