buying old crappy laptops

[wicked859]

HI,
I am buying old crappy laptops for testing purposes, I would like to have a linux,mac, and a few hp systems if any1 has got them, but im willing to take almost any and all laptops for a reasonable price.
1.)follow the rules (Lol)
2.)paypal or money order is good.
3.)post all specs here.
4.)please tell me if it runs, has problems, or is very $%^%$%% up.
also buying old mac/linux pcs

Did you need a mac and it's specific hardwares?

If not, you can emulate both of those OS on an existing PC/laptop that you may already have already.

But if you do need it, you'll probably be better off on ebay. If you don't ship first, which I assume.. pay first.. then you might not even get anything at all.

hmm, no existing laptop for me lol. Just doing a little project with some friends. and at first i was writing a thread about selling a xbox but i decided to change it, and forgot to take that down, if i am buying from someone i do expect to pay first, just like i would expect if someone was buying from me

It works sometimes, i mean it can be fixed by someone that has the knowhow to do so. Eg, soldering.

Do you want to buy it?

I have a really old laptop with 233 MHz processor and 64MB RAM. It turns on and everything but i think the plug is kinda messed up, if u move the plug it turns off. Also the battery doesnt hold charge. It has cd rom, floppy, modem, stereo speakers, and runs windows 98 right now. I know its old as hell but u said "old crappy laptops" so here it is lol. Let me know if ur intrested.

It's possible that I may want it, but I have to find out if I get my new job.

The problem is that I have 6 people who have shown interest and considered buying it, but nobody yet.
