I have tried several times to sell high-end thinkpads on the internnet, and the usual attitude seems to be that if it's 3 months old, and has been replaced by a newer model, then it's worthless! For example, I posted a 760CD Pentium 120, new, manufactured in March of 1996, and priced at $6500+ . IBM has now announced the ED at $7,000, with limited availability, and I get comments like "Who would want that obsolete piece of junk???" Excuse me? I thought a P-120, with all the bells and whistles that come on this machine would still be desirable at $1500 less than the 760ED, but the best offer I got was $3500. I think I'll try the local newspaper... Richard At 11:07 AM 7/18/96 -0500, you wrote: >At 10:24 AM 7/18/96, John H.
