    Lets all hear some offers. Anything around $ 50 will get an immediate response (if PM, plz leave your PayPal ID), all the high ballers who think they are owning Gold need not waste their time.P.S: I'm a end user, not a dealer.

    I'm paying $70 each for them so $50 is kinda out of the question. The best thing to do is troll the bay to see if you can stumble on a deal. Next best,buy a parts unit. I just got one for $49 with caddy.

    This is where I buy caddies,factory ac adapters and DVD drives for the 30.

    THX for the advice. So what's the point of this forum then? I guess I could advise all the readers to just go to ebay instead too?

    BTW: The link you posted doesn't work.

    The guys on here sell a lot of stuff and give away a lot too but when it comes to Toughbook caddy it will cost you . Why...because they are no deals on them anywhere. They are so many CF30's on ebay now without them dealers have no problem selling them for $70-$80.00 . If I had a few to sell am I going to sell them here for $50 or ebay for $80.00 . I think I know what you would do


    the link works fine now http://www.ebay.com/itm/32132784404...sacat=0&_nkw=321327844043&LH_PrefLoc=2&_rdc=1

    The law of supply and demand...

    Just curious..Where did you come up with the $50.00 figure?....I usually do a Ebay search for sold items and see what the market value is.

    If you want a real shocker, do a search for CF 19 backlit keyboard....... NOT the rubber one.....
    New they are $272.00......Used they still get near $200.00....For a 8" notebook keyboard :eek:....

    The link works fine and you are living up to your Logon name!

    The point of this forum is to help people who have a basic understanding of Toughbooks and want to learn more. The point of this forum is to help each other. The point of this forum is to look out for those who look out for us.

    No offense... But you come across as kind of coarse here. IF you were a regular... You might have a caddy magically appear in your mailbox at home as that is what we do sometimes. When you come on here and be a MajorDick... You'll find that people might try to make helpful suggestions... But nobody is going to jump to help you. Just sayin'...

    EDIT: And if you can find a reliable place to buy OEM CF-30/31 caddies for $50... Post it here... we'd all line up to buy them!

    I ask that we don't turn this into a thread that just bashes the Original Poster..I have dealt with him PM and although he comes across quite strong, he's a good guy. Just new and very inexperienced like we all were at one time....

    Let's play nice....I don't like to see threads that could get out of control..I have seen that on other boards and I leave them..I was personally attacked on one and it's not fun....
