Ebay is for certified dealers and used Thinkpads.
But that is just my opinion. With enough research you can buy anything used. I was kinda brainwashed by Judge Judy and those people selling a "Phone" at full price and the customer receiving a picture of a phone and the seller getting busted when the description had the item weight of a phone. And my dad having to return his expensive ass college football helmets because they had giant gashes on them. Waiting 7 days for an item and having to return it dosn't sound like fun and ties up everyone's assets.
Also >paypal
enjoy your frozen account for no reason.
Pawnshops are okay but they take a pretty big cut for second hand goods so you are probably better off hooking up with a guy on Craigslist and meeting at the Walmart Parking lot to cut out the middle man.
