I just paid $275US + shipping for: Overclocked L50 (100MHz)--perfect condition and CLEAN 32MB RAM 4GB hard drive 128MB PCMCIA SuperDrive (new in box--never opened) standard floppy drive Enhanced Port Replicator Docking strip Original box, manuals, etc., but NOT the original CD(s). Win95 CD (not original) Camcorder battery (see fixup.net for instructions on how it was adapted for the L50) Standard battery Extended Battery Sony PCMCIA CD-ROM drive (which works with RedHat 7.1 installer!!!) 28.8 faxmodem (hey, it's better than nothing) Original 810MB hard drive (removed, of course) And he threw in a 2.5"->3.5" hard drive adapter for $10 so I can easiliy install Linux from a "big" computer and then pop the drive back in the Libretto. I'm extremely happy with the deal. I figure I could part it out and get $500 for everything. Not bad. I tried to get several people at work to buy it, but no one wanted it. So I just HAD to buy it myself. -e. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 5:30 AM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] What are L50s and L100s worth these days?

Just to give you an idea ... I paid $750AUD (about $375USD) for my L50 a month and a bit ago (after which I joined this list!) but it came with a whole pile of stuff: - both the standard docking bar and the enhanced port replicator - 56k Xircom Realport modem with all cables - power supply - floppy drive - Teac 10x PCMCIA CD-ROM drive - Canon BJC80 mini IR printer with both print heads, power supply, a few spare ink cartridges, carry case PLUS a scanner head - all original diskettes and CDs for printer, scanhead, laptop, etc. - all manuals for all the major bits and pieces plus (expired!) warranty cards, receipts, cleaning sheets, etc. - Other bits and pieces (keyboard, mouse, disk box, etc.) However it only has the original 770MB HDD and 16 meg RAM in it. It doesn't have any bad pixels however nor does the libby or any of the other bits and pieces show any signs of being dropped (not a single scratch on the case or screen, none of the corners had 'flat spots' which would be a sure sign of being dropped, no rattles in the CD or printer) - apart from being a little bit dirty it was in what I could see as perfect condition. It wasn't overclocked (in fact I couldn't see any signs of it ever being opened). The battery was also in pretty good condition, I got 1 hour out of it when I turned everything on and kept the hard drive thrashing, stretched it to 1.5 hours using it carefully. You could probably get a good estimate of a fair price by subtracting how much you recon the CD, modem and printer would be worth, subtracting a bit perhaps to account for it having been dropped and missing pixels, then adding the hard drive, RAM and battery packs in. I'd estimate it'll probably get you perhaps $450-$550AUD ($225-275USD) but then again that'll be in an Australian environment where there is a premium for relatively rare technology (because the market is so small here). Your mileage may vary in the US or Europe.
