    Found a Toshiba earlier today that I wasn't quite interested, but thought some guys here might. It costs 99 cents at the moment and looks very promising. Ends in 24 hours or so from this post, so you better get cracking. The seller is reputable, I might add as well.

    It will end at a lot more than 99 cents.

    Yeah, and it probably won't meet the reserve. or the seller will probably cancel if they don't get a higher price for it.

    In the last 30 minutes the price will shoot up to approximately fair market value.

    So, no, this is not a find.

    It's currently at $73 with 7 bids and no one really knows other than the current highest bidder what the maximum bid is set at. As others have said this notebook will probably hit fair market value before it's over.

    edit: It's now around $260 with 31 minutes to go.

    Sold for $280, plus $33 for shipping. I don't know if this is any kind of deal or not, but it's a lot better for the money than 99% of the crap I see on my local Craigslist for $300. :D

    I think I'd scrape up the extra change to buy a Satellite L300 for $449 from ToshibaDirect- LINK

    or even $399 Refurbished L305 from ToshibaDirect- LINK
