Thinkpads Forum

I've been sitting on the remnants of a horde of T410 and T420 systems that I rescued and refurbished, and haven't done much recently to try and move them. I've got a daughter on the way now and want to clear these out to make space for other stuff.

If anyone is interested in systems in my signature, I may be willing to part with some of them, for the right price. PM if you want to talk about that.

Inventory summary (Should be relatively accurate, though I last sold/updated the list about a year ago):

1) T420 in good condition: $15 (i5-2520M, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, and 65W AC adapter)
2) T410 in excellent condition: $15 (i5-540M, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 90W AC adapter)
3) T410 in excellent condition: $15 (i5-540M, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 90W AC adapter)
4) T410 in excellent condition: $15 (i5-540M, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 90W AC adapter)
5) T410 in excellent condition: $15 (i5-540M, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 90W AC adapter)
6) T410 in good condition: $10 (i5-540M, 6GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 90W AC adapter.)
7) T410 in good condition: $10 (i5-540M, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 90W AC adapter)
T410 in fair condition: $5 (i5-540M, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 65W AC adapter)
9) T410 in good condition: $10 (i5-540M, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 65W AC adapter)
10) T410 in fair condition: $5 (i5-540M, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 65W AC adapter)

If you want them all, $50 plus shipping takes the entire lot. The memory, SSDs and AC adapters should be worth that much, if nothing else.

Most of these have Windows 10 loaded on them. I will boot them prior to shipping to ensure they are functional and they will come with an original battery. I will make an effort to include a working battery but if battery runtime is important to you, I recommend you purchase a replacement. I cannot guarantee battery runtime or functionality on 15+ year old batteries.

MTM details:
T420 (4236-NUU)
T410 (2537-FP5)

Condition description:
An excellent system shows little signs of use. Touchpads, keyboards and palm rests show minimal signs of use. 9-10/10 condition.
The good units are in average shape but will have more noticeable signs of use such as shininess/wear on the keyboard, touchpad, some scuffing, etc. 6-8/10 condition.
A fair unit shows heavier cosmetic wear and tear from use over the years, but is still completely functional. 3-5/10 condition. Anything 1 or 2/10 would be consider poor or for-parts.

I prefer snail-mail check but electronic payment is an option if necessary. Both Paypal or Venmo are accepted.

Just updated the list of systems. Had a few sell locally, and a few more hit the bench over the last few weeks!

Just nudging this with the up-to-date inventory I have up for grabs now that the herd has been thinned a bit. Prices adjusted as well.

Inventory audited and updated in the first post for 2025.

Sent a PM with a few questions.

Bump for 2026 - prices slashed and I pitched a bundle offer for anyone who wants to take the whole lot off my hands.

Most of these Thinkpads are from big corporations that have a regular upgrade schedule for office equipment, and the United States' large population (342 million) means there's a huge number of laptops that are discarded/retired every few years.

Pretty much! These machines were originally purchased new by the Sherwin-Williams headquarters in nearby Cleveland. They were donated to an area school as a part of a (now-defunct) community program, and were used by staff as classroom instructional display computers before they were eventually retired as part of a replacement cycle.

Sold!
