Hi guys,
1,400,000 won
I bought this about 7 months ago at yongsan, for 1,600,000. Orig receipt available.
I'm finding I want a machine with a touch pad , of all things!
But this machine is built to last, once you touch it, and see it, you know why ThinkPads have the untouchable business / corporate reputation they do for reliability, and no nonsense get it done with a black suit and tie, style.
I've babied her, with TLC. She's got an LCD protector film, and keyboard sleeve that fits like a glove.
No photos, cuz I've sold my camera already. But she'll look just like this:
http://dsvensson.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-laptop.jpg
ORIGINAL WARRANTY VALID UNTIL APRIL/2010
CPU - P8700 (2.53Ghz) Core 2 Duo
MEMORY - 2GB DDR3
HDD - 320GB
LCD - 12.1 Inch 1280 * 800 WXGA /
with WEBCAM ( I haven't even peeled the original factory film off it)
VIDEO - Intel X4500HD
Wireless - A / G / N
LAN - 1GB
BATTERY - 6 cell
KEYBOARD - full size
(This keyboard without a doubt, is maybe in a league of its own. I've never experienced anything other like it, full shift and enter keys, not like some of the cheesy net books I've tested )
Height x Depth x Width
20.7㎜ x 210㎜ x 295㎜
Weight - 3lbs.
OS Windows 7 | Vista Home Basic (Is the original licensed and is available as a backed up image.)
I installed Windows 7 / but originally it came with Vista Home Basic. I'd recommend sticking with Windows 7 to see if you like it (it's the trial version which expires March) or you can do a fresh factory install from the Recovery Image that's on the hard drive and is licensed. It's that easy.

| Nice machine, but you can get a brand new one with the same specs for $1,099, or 1.2m Won. I may be interested if you're willing to come down on the price a bit. |

If you can actually provide links to a comparable machine of course I'd consider it. But please no apples to oranges.
We're talking about a corporate level machine here not your net book type machine. So if you can find something with the same:
1) build quality
2) internal specs
then I'll consider it.
Links? |

1.2 brand new...used should go for around 800k
edit: +80k for the RAM
|
1.2 is the price with 2gb of RAM. +80k is if you want to add an additional 2gb. |

That sight is for refurbished. Ask a Korean friend to translate it first.
Once you choose from the drop down 2gb of RAM, it comes to 1.278.
Not sure how you round down to 1.2 for a 1.278 price?
Now I don't know about you, but I wouldn't say a refurbished is the same as a mine, but I'd say it's close.
I've had no parts fixed to speak of, and everything works fine. That actually looks like a good deal if you can trust their services, so I'd advise you check with Korean friends on that site. If you can verify that their LCD screen is in perfect condition and everything else is in MINT condition and they haven't swapped out quality parts with inferior parts, then I'd go ahead and go for that.
As far as my pricing, I'll go down just a super little, not 1.278, it'd have to be closer to 1.400 range because you can see my machine before you buy it and you'll know 100% it's all in mint condition, and all original parts.
The comparison with a new machine from the USA site is , do I have to even say it?
Did you add shipping to Korea? Did you do the exchange rate?
Plus customs?
PLEASE.
If I could have, I would have done the same a long time ago, but I was able to get a decent deal up in Yongsan, at an authorized seller.

Not trying to be a modedit. Just trying to price a new laptop--my bad for not realizing the price was for a refurbished machine...
If no one else wants it I'll offer 800k. Keep in mind Windows 7 isn't legit. |

I will not consider lowballerz!
Nice try though, NOT. |

good luck getting anything more than 800k for a computer 6 months old here.
You stated mint condition. Maybe look up the word mint (mint is new, unused).
I think 800 is fair. |

If you want something as low as possible you'd better go to that refurbished website he mentioned. I think it's a good deal for lowballerz. |

Refurbushed IS new.
They are typically new and opened units or new units with something wrong that was replaced. Because of consumer protection laws in most countries, once something is opened by an end user it cannot be labaled as "NEW" anymore.
I get everything refurb. Same warranty, same quality (sometimes even better because the buggy parts have been revised). |

Yes, if you prefer a laptop that's refurbished, and as I suggested, you should check out that deal. I'm not pushing anyone to buy my laptop.
If anything, you guys should be thanking me for listing my price because it urged you to find a better deal. And I'm happy to help out, but I'm not going to go for the lower price. Good luck! |

'Mint condition' means like new condition, not actually new or unused. I even looked up the word 'mint' just to make sure. (What a waste of my time.) As long as the laptop is in superb condition, the seller's correct.
I found a new TP on the net that's basically the same model at 1.2 mil, new. Not refurbished new either. The only difference seems to be the CPU speed; 2.53 vs. 2.4. (His is faster.) So I think 1.0 mil would be a good price, IMO. The machine seems to be as fast as any desktop computer, if not faster. However, the screen is tiny and Intel graphics aren't really known for gaming. It's a great notebook for business people. |

Woa this whole post has been a debate of sorts...That price is much better than 800,000 which is real a low ballerz thing to do. But honestly, I value the fact that my laptop has never been broken, or had to be touched by a repairman. To me that also says that this machine will continue to work like a horse and work as it was intended to. Have you ever gotten your item repaired, and it just never worked like it used to?
I've seen items come back from a repair shop, that looked nicked, etc.
And unless you know what parts were placed inside, you couldn't say for certainty, that they did it according to Lenovo's standards of quality parts. You'll just have to trust them. That's not to say Korea has untrustworthy repair services. So if you can verify that a refurbished deal here in Korea is good, and has a reasonable warranty, you all should go to that shop and buy that laptop. But the value of my laptop, is much higher than 1, or 1.2, that's just one man's selling opinion, and all this debate on semantics won't change my valuation of the laptop, that has been taken care of with not a dent or chip on it at all, and with a beautiful keyboard protector and lcd film, that looks like there's no lcd film on it at all.
To me it is MINT, do we have to keep debating the semantics?
Now if someone wants to be more reasonable, that thinks my laptop is worth closer to 1.4, then I'm willing to negotiate, but folks who just think they can talk me down with unreasonable comparisons , shouldn't waste my time either. How can you compare the SIZE of my 12.1" to a TP?
More portability = higher value, gosh almighty! Or things like buying it in USA new is cheaper than in Korea, are you kidding me? Now why on earth would I entertain negotiations with people who think they can get
away with that kind of comparison? I've already mentioned the refurbished comparison has some merit, and you folks ought to follow that fellow's advice and go get that one.
But as for me, I'm still waiting for a reasonable offer.
If someone wants to negotiate reasonably, they should just say, would you accept so and so offer?
Oye, no more on this subject.
Please PM me with your best offer ok? |

You should try craiglist.com
So much better when selling electronics, avoiding annoying ass people with no money with low offers.
Good luck with your sale! |
