Got a call from IT repair guy closing shop!!!

A small repair shop closing in a large city is NOT a sign of improvement. Instead of getting things fixed people just toss them in the trash or dump them at bestbuy. I noticed quite a few people around here that used to do laptop repairs have given up over the last few years since they are cheap enough people just buy a new one when they break or get slow. I would think it would be much easier to get ewaste in bulk from a busy refurbishing guy who gets all kinds of gear dumped on him then having to chase stray machines in the trash.

Any old complete Thinkpads in that 100 laptop bundle?

The only really rare Thinkpad is the 8xx series which is PPC, those can sell for $100's if they work.

I collect Thinkpads, which is why I asked.
