Ok, I have two IBM laptops which I love (T40p and T41). I got them for a STEAL last year and they came to $150 each. Well, I’ve been looking for a docking station for them for awhile now and didn’t want to pay $30-$50 for one. Well. I found some on ebay. He had 9 of them for sale for $15 and $10 shipping and it had a “make offer” button. I offered him $10 for each and then shipping was $10 for the first one and $5 for the additional ones. I made an offer of $10 per item which comes to $16 per docking stating. These are selling fairly easily for around $30-$50. So, I thought I would buy 5 of them and sell 4 of them. I thought for sure there was something that I was missing but I can’t seem to find it. They seem to sell on Ebay well. Oh well, we’ll see. I need to trust my instincts since I’m in this for good now!
These are also the better dockng stations. They have a Port Replicator II that has only one USB port. This one has a lock and 4 USB ports. I use this same exact one at work so I know what it is like. It also comes with the power cord which not all ebay listings do. I think I can at least double my money with this. I will try and sell on Craigs list for $30 first (no shipping, no ebay fees, and no paypal fees).
My money is dwindling but I have ALOT out there to sell. Now i just need to list and wait it out. I estimated that once everything sells that I will be close to $300. Time will tell now. I will list my auctions or craigslist listings soon.
Here is the auction for the IBM Docking Stations in case anyone is interested. If you are, make him an offer instead of Buy It Now.
IBM Docking Station 2878 with power cord.
Items that I have to sell yet: 4 IBM Docking Stations, Printer, Router, Kaspersky IS, Flavor of Love DVD, and the Blackberry.
Nice Surprise!
January 14, 2008I received in the mail today my 2GB SD card that I got for $3.95. I didn’t think it went through but apparently one of them did. I will list on ebay soon.
Guy still hasn’t paid me for the Flavor of Love DVD. I’m starting to get impatient. My other listing for the Internet Security is now up to $31 with 2 more hours left. So far so good.
