    Is this a good Thinkpad T42 deal on eBay?

    Seems like a decent deal. Seller has good feedback. I'd ask about the warranty.

    It says on the page that "The laptop includes a minimum of at least 1yrs IBM warranty remaining".

    Looks good, but the seller charges extra for the recovery and OS cd's. And be sure to ask how much of that 1yr warranty is remaining.

    Just sounded a little vague to me. You should be able to burn off a set of recovery cds as long as the original installation is there.
