Questions & Comments

Hope I can win this for my son in Michigan, so he can apply for job's online. Nice auction! Nice for JMLARES to offer the WiFi wireless adapter. Thank's!

Yes, I hope you can win, I wish I had one for everyone, but right now this is the only one up. Maybe later!

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:03:57 PM PST by

Don't know why people complain... this would be perfect for my twin 5 yr olds espicially with the Wi-Fi. They love to play online games and constantly battle over who's turn it is. I learned my lesson by buying my 10 yr old a new laptop for $600 and in less than a year she has busted it. With this it would calm the battles and if they spill a glass of juice on it and short it out I'm not out a ton of money. Besides as long as it has a USB port who cares if it has a drive.

Jan 23rd, 2011 at 11:33:38 AM PST by

Yes, you're very correct! I got mine (12yrs old) a cheapie off of ebay for $115 (good thing not more) and she had it ruined in less than 6 months!! As I said, this is a perfect cheap starter for a child.
Hope you read all the comments, this doesn't have WiFi, but can be added via USB or PC card. Thanks for the comment!!

Sorry, my unemployment ran out, and I have absolutely no money right now. Wish I could.

Jan 23rd, 2011 at 6:48:34 AM PST by

wow this is a nice auction, cant believe someone would actually auction something so valueable, Good luck!!!

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 1:44:00 PM PST by

Thanks, but I still have two that I'm using.

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 2:26:35 PM PST by

would you except postal money order or concealed cash?

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 1:00:29 PM PST by

I stated earlier that, Yes I will, whatever you're comfortable with. I'm easy to work with. :) :)

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 2:27:24 PM PST by

jmlares -- you should put your computer parts stuff on listia....i had some odd and end stuff that i did ... flate rate medium box full...cords, mouse, cables, ect... danny is right people are looking for parts on here....if its just sitting there earn credits with it at least.....this is a great auction hun....that computer would make a good starter for someone....even elderly to learn

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 9:37:41 AM PST by

Yes it would. That's one of the reasons I decided to list it rather than use it for parts on my other laptops. Thanks for looking.

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 11:47:28 AM PST by

Just in case some people don't know, $14. for flat rate from the PO is all it is going to cost. Anywhere in the U.S. A good deal!

Jan 21st, 2011 at 8:46:08 PM PST by

Yes, I've tried to explain that best I can. It's the cheapest I can get it sent. Thanks for the help.

I's wave soldered. They have a machine that puts a tiny dab of solder paste on the board, another one that places the processor. Then the board goes into an oven to bake. The baking melts the solder. Doing it by hand is a Bee-awtch! Been there, did that. Don't wanna again.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 5:13:05 PM PST by

Yes, I know that to be true. But when for someone else, it is rough. For yourself, it should be rewarding. Try soldering with a cigarette lighter and a paper clip, NOW that is worse, but it works when you don't have access to a soldering iron!! :) :)

Jan 22nd, 2011 at 1:52:08 AM PST by

It would be nice if they made the processors so they could be upgraded, though. Being able to add memory and a larger HD is nice, but, to keep up, you need to be able to install a faster processor. But, this will work for very basic stuff.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 4:08:11 PM PST by

Well, if you can solder, you can change the processor. You just have to remove the old one, and solder in a new one :) :)

Jan 21st, 2011 at 4:56:11 PM PST by

I did the same thing with a similar laptop that had a broken display.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:47:23 PM PST by

Yes, just because they are old, doesn't mean that they are dead. There are still many uses for these older version PCs, but they can also be upgraded to a very nice one too.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 3:55:29 PM PST by

This would actually be an awesome computer to use on a home network for either an ftp/file server or as a mail server. Neither of which requires a very fast processor to work just nicely.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:47:00 PM PST by

Good Idea.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:00:16 PM PST by

Holy Cow!

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:33:17 PM PST by

free shipping ill bid 8324

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:17:36 PM PST by

Sorry, unemployment ran out and I can't afford it. :( :(

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:01:15 PM PST by

For paypal you dont even need a credit card you can use a bank account and its very trust worthy

Jan 21st, 2011 at 10:20:49 AM PST by

Yes, but they also like a second account or card (as they say), in case it doesn't go through. Yes, I've been with them 5 years and not a problem one.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:03:07 PM PST by

Do you know the processor speed?

Jan 17th, 2011 at 2:05:46 PM PST by

The speed is 700MHz.

Jan 17th, 2011 at 3:19:38 PM PST by

very nice will be watching :)

Jan 21st, 2011 at 9:21:18 AM PST by

Thanks and good luck.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 2:04:13 PM PST by

Bakersfield! I used to live at Olive and 99!

Jan 20th, 2011 at 9:04:22 PM PST by

Nice, just down the street. Decatur and Chester!

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:29:34 AM PST by

Wow. An expensive paperweight!

Jan 20th, 2011 at 9:02:56 PM PST by

Well, maybe if you have a lot of money and can afford to just go out and buy a nice computer. But for those who can't, or just want an inexpesive starter computer for their child, than this is perfect.

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:31:57 AM PST by

Wow i have a pink dell and want this computer really bad!!!")

Jan 20th, 2011 at 8:36:17 PM PST by

Well, I wish you the best of luck, and thanks for visiting!!

Jan 21st, 2011 at 12:32:48 AM PST by

What about those who do not have PayPal? CC or Postal Money Order is all I use or have. Thank's.

Jan 20th, 2011 at 11:26:53 AM PST by

I can accept whatever you're willing to send, but for future reference it is really easy and Free to open a PayPal account. All you need is a credit card and a second form of payment for verification, and the site is totally secure. I've been using it for 5 years now.

Jan 20th, 2011 at 4:04:52 PM PST by

I understand about the shipping, because I send out a lot for Listia. It's close to $15. for a large flat rate box. Very reasonable for something that large. Does it have WiFi? Thank's.

Jan 20th, 2011 at 11:07:32 AM PST by

No, sorry no WiFi, but you can buy or bid on a wireless USB adapter or Wireless PC card which will insert into the PC Card Slot. It's very simple now-a-days to get WiFi.

Jan 20th, 2011 at 4:12:11 PM PST by

awesome auction hun!!!
as for shipping your right on target at 14.00.
i don't know if you use flat rate boxes, but the shipping would come out to about that for a medium flat rate box and is even a little bit less then what it would cost for a large flat rate.
and it is insured, so that right there is well worth the shipping.
i know i will definitely be watching this one.

Jan 19th, 2011 at 7:21:00 PM PST by

Yes, I checked all options, and for the size @9" X 11" Medium Flat Rate was the way to go. On something this expensive, Nothing less than insurance!! Thanks for watching!!!

Jan 20th, 2011 at 2:47:39 AM PST by

beast.....that is all

Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:41:30 PM PST by

That is all what, kind sir??

Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:51:12 PM PST by

thats a nice laptop I want it

Jan 19th, 2011 at 1:13:15 PM PST by

Yes, well Good luck and I hope you win it.

Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:24:21 PM PST by

@CharlieBMore $100 insurance means if it gets lost or broken during shipping, the shipping company will reimburse you up to $100... the total if you win is US $14.00, Canada $31.50 & China $49.00 plus the credit ... which I find reasonable, and I'm in Canada...

anyways, does it have wifi?

Jan 19th, 2011 at 10:46:30 AM PST by

No, this doesn't. You have to realize, Windows 98. It is old, but you would be better off purchasing a newer version, ie...XP, Vista or 7, since Microsoft no longer updates 98, nor does Windows.
Still, it is a running computer, as is could be a starter for a child. Inexpensive enough to you that if it gets broke it won't break the bank. But if for yourself, a gamer or online fanatic, you're better off upgrading the OS.
Thanks for watching!!

Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:29:59 PM PST by

sorry, expecting to recieve 114$ +all the credits you win??

Jan 19th, 2011 at 10:27:22 AM PST by

No Ma'am.

Jan 19th, 2011 at 2:30:44 PM PST by

I would love to bid however, Im a bit confused. The shipping to the US will be 14$ Plus a additional 100$ for, um, confermation & tracking? Thats beyond me, do correct me if im wrong, and if im not your expecting to get 144$ +The credits that are bid?

Jan 19th, 2011 at 10:26:45 AM PST by

No, you did misunderstand. The shipping is as stated: $14 US, $31.50 Canada and $49 International, est to China. That is total shipping. I just stated that no matter where it goes, it is being sent with $100 insurance, which is already calculated into the quoted shipping price.
So, if you were to win it, you would just submit the credits, and upon winning I would give you my PayPal address and you would send $14 to my account to cover shipping. Sorry if you got confused. I just wanted prospective bidders to know that this item was being shipped with Insurance, so they would bid with confidence that they would get their item, and it was insured.
I hope this clears up your concerns.

Nice!
