    First has low useage, 1gb ram, no internal wireless card, and the keyboard/touchpad aren't working (could have wiggled something loose when removing the wireless card). I used an external keyboard to get to the bios. Battery doesn't hold a charge for very long. PICS: CF74 1 - Imgur

    Second one was used quite often. A lot of the keys are missing due to my daughter thinking it was fun to rip them off. Battery is good, wireless card installed, 2gb ram, but a tiny crack on the screen bezel (does not affect actual lcd). PICS: CF74 2 - Imgur

    charger included.

    Well ....

    CF-74's in good condition complete with working touchscreens are in the $300-$500 range. Suggest the first one might be closer to $200 range because of the keyboard problem, no wifi, and weak battery; maybe closer to $250-$300 if the touchscreen is confirmed working good. Second one definitely less. Chargers are worth $15-$20.

    You could fix them up pretty easily and sell on Ebay for more than that I would think. If you want to sell fast and be done, try listing for less than above on our Buy-Sell-Trade forum (or PM me ;-)
