I'm a PhD student in the Computer Systems Laboratory at Stanford University. I need to buy a notebook computer to write my thesis and other research papers. I used a borrowed IBM ThinkPad 760ED for a few days and really liked it, so I would love to buy a used ThinkPad 760 or a slim and light 560 too. I have not been able to find many used ThinkPads for sale, so I am joining the ThinkPad mailing list even though I don't have a ThinkPad in hope that I can buy a ThinkPad from someone on the list. To anyone who is considering selling his or her ThinkPad soon, please let me have a chance to buy it? I'd like to buy a ThinkPad 760 or 560 series with at least 16 MB RAM, 810 MB disk or bigger, and an active matrix display. I'd also consider older ThinkPad series such as the 755 or 701 if they come loaded with lots of RAM, disk, and other goodies such as a CDROM drive and a PCMIA Ethernet card. You don't have to live in the San Francisco Bay Area to sell your ThinkPad to me. We can use Trade-direct, a business which acts as an intermediary between a seller and a buyer, to reduce the risk for both of us. Trade-direct reduces your risk because I can give them my credit card number and they will make sure the credit card is OK before they give you the go-ahead to ship the ThinkPad to me. You'll know before you ship the ThinkPad that I've already put the full price in escrow with Trade-direct and I can't get it back unless I ship the ThinkPad back to you in exactly the same condition as you shipped it. If I damage it in any way, Trade-direct won't refund the money to me and I'll have to keep the ThinkPad. You can read Trade-direct's web page at http://www.trade-direct.com/c2k/ for more information.
