OK, here's the story, I was helping my brother move out this weekend and I saw him nearly throw a Thinkpad T23 into the dumpster. I said "WAIT!!!!!" And I later found out the thinkpad t23 was missing RAM, hard drive, and the AC adapter.

I don't feel like spending money to upgrade this to a functional laptop, but it's a damn shame to let it sit and rot w/o anyone using it.

Having said that, how much do you think I could get for it if I sold it as is?

* I have not powered it on.
* The hard drive, RAM, and A/C adapter are missing
* Screen has no visible scratches or cracks.

I found out it is the 1.13 ghz model.

Thanks for all your advice; I'm not looking to make much (if any) money off of this, but I wanted to consider my options and that is why I am asking my good fellow citizens on macrumors. :)

Thanks for all your advice :)

After checking completed listings on ebay for "Thinkpad T23 parts" (http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&saaff=afdefault&sacur=0&sorefinesearch=1&fcl=3&frpp=50&from=R32&saslop=1&saobfmts=exsif&fss=0&satitle=Thinkpad+T23+parts+-lot&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=91710&sabfmts=1&fis=2&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=34%26fsoo%3D2), You can probably ask $50 for it as the prices seem to hover above and below that price.

If it was working when last filled with RAM and HD, I'd buy it for that price.

If it should work when filled with the correct parts I might also be interested for that price (or less :o).

Do you know if it is the high- or low-res screen?

You should sell this for cheap to help my mom out, who's old sony vaio (hd and ram should transfer over!) took a death leap off DC-in cliff.
