I just sold mine (same config with less warranty) for about $650. I had no idea what it was worth so I did a DejaNews search for other mono 486s offered for sale: PB 486??/33 12/200 w/modem $950 LTE 486DX2/50 12/250 2.5 yr warranty $899 Lxmrk 486SLC/25 4/130 w/modem $750 LTE 486??/25 20/250 $730 TP350 486SX/25 12/250 w/modem $700 Aero 486SX/25 4/170 $625 Sharp 486DX/33 4/124 $600 PB 486??/33 4/200 $600 Twnhd 486??/33 4/200 $575 Mdwst 486SX/25 2/120 $550 Cntra 486??/25 4/125 w/modem $500 Lxmrk 486SLC2/50 4/170 $475 Lxmrk 486SLC/25 4/120 $430 Lxmrk 486SLC/25 4/80 w/modem $300 Keep in mind the SLC processors are 16-bit external bus.

No insult intended to Robert, but he's had every top of the line Thinkpad to play with ever since this list started. I don't give much weight to his opinion on the value of the low end models. Mono offers a couple advantages that may be attractive to a buyer: Longer battery life, better visibility in sunlight, lower repair costs should the LCD break (not really a factor if it's still under warranty), etc. One last note, I noticed most of the offers I got were my asking price minus $100, both the first time I posted the forsale, and the second time at a different price. The first time was while school was in session. I asked $800 and got almost a dozen offers for $700. The second time was during the summer and I asked $700. I got one offer for $650, a couple for $600, and one for $590. If you can wait, I'd suggest selling it once school starts, add $100 to what you want to get, and post. :) -- John H.
