    I want to apologize to Rick as I screwed up earlier. Nonetheless, here is one of the Toughbooks I have for sale (I have a few but this one is up currently).

    ==========================================================
    1) Specs:
    -Model # CF-29EWPGZKM
    -Pentium M Centrino 1.3GHz
    -512MB RAM
    -60GB HD
    -Also comes with removable 1.44 floppy drive
    -CD-ROM Model #CF-VCF271(can be modified for a CDRW easily, walkthroughs online)
    -Built in WiFi a/g
    -13.3" XGA TOUCHSCREEN
    -2 PC Card Slots
    -1 USB 2.0
    -VGA Out, parallel, serial, ps/2
    -Built in Ethernet/modem
    -Rubber Backlit Keyboard with adjustable brightness
    --Windows XP Pro SP3 currently installed with all updates with COA sticker

    2) Used. It still has the factory screen protector and there are a few scratches and two marks as shown in the pictures. They are surface scratches which could probably be buffed out but they don't affect the performance of the touchscreen. The marks are a little deeper but again, it doesn't affect the performance and if you peeled the protector off, I'm sure the screen underneath is PERFECT. I can provide you with an aftermarket screen protector for $25.

    3)Removed due to being sold

    4) SOLD!!

    5) Paypal please!

    6) I can ship USPS, UPS, Fedex. Buyer pays shipping.

    7) I'm a "newbie" here, but I have 100% feedback on ebay. Name is ludeDVR.

    8) Comes with OEM Panasonic AC Adapter and a copy of the original recovery CD's. It works great however, I do not offer a warranty of course. This is sold as-is. I do not have the stylus pen. It comes with the battery and it holds a charge fine. I would estimate it at 4 hours or so depending on settings and what you're doing with it.

    Any questions? Please ask!
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Attention Buyers: Please do not offer less than what the original poster asked for unless they specify "Best Offer". If you have a question about the price of an item please private message the original poster.

    I'd like to know if you'd be willing to ship internationally to Singapore and whether card-funded Paypal is acceptable.

    Also, are your other units configured similarly to the one in this thread? If it's ok with you, please email at RonWillLEE at gmail dot com. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Ron

    I would ship internationally if you pay for shipping obviously. I have no idea how much shipping would be though. If you could PM me some details so I could get a quote, we could go from there.

    I'm really not sure what the difference is on card funding vs bank funding. Either way, the money makes it in my paypal account right?

    The other units are exactly the same spec wise, they just have OEM screen protectors that need to be replaced (I have ScreenPratronus ones to replace them).

    I'll send you an email with this information too.

    Hi Ludedude,
    Thanks for the email and I need to clarify a couple of issues. Firstly, yes, I will bear international postage cost and nothing is shipped until full payment due to you is received.

    Secondly, depending on how your Paypal account is set up, you may or may not be able to receive card-funded payments (found out the embarrassing way with Grav and I still feel bad about it). If you're ok with card, I'm good to go. Further details in email response and thanks again for the favorable reply.

    Lastly, I've never replaced a screen protector before and IIRC, there was a mention in much earlier threads (something about damaging the anti-glare coating). I'll probably skip the replacement if the original ones aren't too badly scratched up.

    Edit: Is the CF-29 complete with a battery? (it wasn't mentioned in the description)

    Hey Teo, life's a little rough around the edges but I'm getting by. Got a buddy infected with 'toughbookititis' and he's using a 27 now. I'm transacting the 29 on his behalf. Catch up with you privately.

    Regards,
    Ron

    Emails and PM's replied.

    Also, I've been getting a lot of questions about the battery life. It does hold a charge and I'd estimate it around 4 hours depending on settings and what you're doing with it.

    That's a heck of a deal for someone... A HECK of a deal!

    Don't worry about any coating on the screen in reference to taking off the factory screen protector. CF-28s had that issue... The cF-29s do not... I take them off and or swap them all the time. Just be CAREFULL taking them off... You need something pointy yet dull to get under the corner of the screen protector.... Findernails (At least mine) won't hack it.

    Heck... I'd buy it too... But it looks like there is a line here....

    Good way to post LudeDude... Thanks!
