Hello,

I have an IBM laptop for sale. I have put "brand new" in the title because this laptop has been used only 1 time. This laptop doesn't have a fingerprint on it. It's almost like it just came out of the box. I had a trade show to go to in LA and needed a laptop to play a DVD on. That is all it has been used for. We paid over $600 dollars for it and have used it maybe 8 or 10 hours.

Here's a few specs and what's included.
IBM R50e ThinkPad (IBM has a great name and reputation for a solid computer)
15" Display
512mb of Ram (can hold up to 2 gigs in 2 separate slots)
30 gig Harddrive

Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 3 with all latest updates

I have installed the following:
•Microsoft Office 2007
--Office includes Access, Excel, Groove, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher and Word.
•Norton Antivirus
•DVD Playback Software •System Mechanic •Nero 8 – for burning Audio, Video, Data and Picture CDs.
•Adobe Photoshop – Photo editing and drawing
•MusicAlarmClock – Wake up to your favorite music from your laptop as your alarm clock.

This laptop is ready to go. It's perfect for the student, the professional or even someone who is new to computers. I would keep this for myself, but I have a laptop and a brand new PC.

I have sold a lot of items on Craigslist. If there was feedback I'd have 100% positive. I also sell things on ebay. You can see my customers feedback if you like. My username is "magnifan"

If you're interested in this, you need to let me know as soon as possible because the first person to see this up close is sure to realize that it's as new as it gets without pulling the plastic off yourself.

I don't have a good camera to get a picture up here, but the pictures below are exactly what it is.

I will be giving a free Microsoft wireless optical mouse with this laptop!

12/20/2008 12:55:07 PM

The Craigslist double posting is pretty damn annoying.

12/20/2008 12:58:34 PM

see this is why I can never sell anything on here, I don't shamelessly lie

wait. you claim that a 4 year old laptop is brand new

AND

you claim that you aren't able to post pictures

AND

you said to look at the pictures 'below' but they are no pictures below

AND

you bought a laptop just to play a dvd 1 time? YOU BOUGHT A LAPTOP TO PLAY A DVD JUST ONE TIME?

I smell shit

The laptop was bought for use at a trade show. We took it to the trade show and it sat out on one end of our booth. We came back from the trade show and it has just sat in the office. No one has used it.

I said I couldn't take any pictures of it with my camera, and I also said that there were pictures below. This is a simple mistake because I copied and pasted the ad from my craigslist ad. Where I did find 2 pictures from the internet.

And yes it was a DVD played in it at the trade show.

here is the link to the craigslist ad. Go ahead and pick it apart if you like http://raleigh.craigslist.org/sys/965205054.html I did edit it a little when I pasted it into the wolfweb, but I fucked up with the pictures part.

Hopefully it will sell tomorrow. I have it up there for $450 and have an offer for $400 tomorrow.

I also have a stick of ram that I was going to add to the laptop, but it wasn't the right fit.
From what I can tell the name brand is Nanya It's 512 2r x 16 | PC2 5300S-555-12-A2

Any offers?

wdprice3 thanks for your colorful insight.

theres no way someone is going to give you $400 for that

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

12/21/2008 1:06:44 AM

No, but he will say someone outbid the person that was willing to go $400 and that he really sold it for $475.

12/21/2008 10:51:04 AM

I'll bid $125, thats it

12/21/2008 10:54:01 AM

Item sold. $400.00. The guy even came from out of town to pick it up. Now he's no fool and you can say what you want about me and my ad, but instead of just handing him a laptop and grabbing his cash, I took more of a consultative approach. He told me exactly what he needed the laptop for in his business and I went over several of the different needs and showed the solutions. Needless to say, he is happy, I am happy and he got what can be described as a new laptop based on the amount of usage.

I don't take offense to any of the bullshit calling, because I should have paid more attention to what I was putting up here, knowing what can happen to the littlest mistakes. I'm not one to call bullshit on people, but I may have done the same thing on this one.

Anyway, thanks WW.

yes he is
if he payed 400 for that, when you could get a brand new dell with a helluva lot better specs
i would say he is a fool

12/22/2008 2:19:15 PM

^^Sold for $400 would have sufficed.

12/22/2008 2:22:54 PM

this thread smells of butthurt
