    essentially looking for a fragged cf-28 to learn/experiment on. it doesnt have to power up, i need your paperweights here people...i am looking to learn on one before i tear mine down as i dont have a large wallet to play with if i screw up my working cf-28 trying to mod it. the threads are very helpful but as a visual learner, i pick things up by doing. i also am looking to try the bedliner mod posted in the forums and want to experiment on that as well...
    on a budget so obviously the cheaper the better...thanks

    not gonna lie connor, no idea what offer and i dont want to be insulting. i got the one im gonna mod for $50 and am really lookin to not spend more on one that i plan on disassembling to learn how to properly mod my existing one. this is why i am lookin for non functioning paperweights. i mean, if you'll take 50 for yours, sweet, but i doubt thats the case...lemme know what youre lookin to get and maybe we could come to an accord...

    Do you need all the parts? I might sell for $50 if I keep the caddy and extra memory, i would be willing to leave the rubber backlit keyboard on it though, and Ill leave the battery in, I have no idea if its still any good. Its been sitting in storage for a while, it was formerly a MDC computer in a command vehicle at the fire department I work for

    I have a 600Mhz model that is empty of battery, RAM, HDD and caddy. It does have a black keyboard. How about $40 plus $12 shipping?

    When you are in the "Buy and Sell" zone, there is no such thing as hijacking, just free spirited, free market economy! All is fair in love and retail.....Besides, you never know who is lurking in the gopher holes of cyberspace and a head may just pop up wanting what someone has for sale.
