I always use a reserve, and even mention it more or less in the posting. Something like: I have placed a very reasonable reserve on this item. Please do not think you are going to snipe it for less than $100.00 at the last few moments of the auction If my reserve was $100.00 I would put reserve of $101.00 on it. Every time i have phrased it like this, the reserve is always met early and it normally sells for just over it.

Re: Price Check: T30
While the high resolution looks nice on a spec sheet on a 14.1 TFT screen it's too small for me to read the screen. I tend to stay with the 1024x768 screens. It's easier on my 6X nearsighted eyes.ajkula66 wrote: Well...if it's a SXGA+ model (with the rare 200-nit panel in good shape), has a brand new battery, 2GB of Elpida RAM, a PATA SLC 32GB or bigger SSD in the main bay and a WD 250GB in the ultrabay...you could persuade even the cynical old me...

If your sight is less than perfect, I'd strongly recommend switching to 15" machines with IPS FlexView LCDs. You'll be amazed with what your eyes can actually tolerate resolution-wise when you're not staring at a crappy TN panel.While the high resolution looks nice on a spec sheet on a 14.1 TFT screen it's too small for me to read the screen. I tend to stay with the 1024x768 screens. It's easier on my 6X nearsighted eyes.

Re: Price Check: T30
Don't want to thke this too far off topic, but once you get into 15" or larger screens, you have an unwieldly laptop. I travel a lot, and that size won't fit in my cases. At home i use a large CRT (IBM of course) so that's not an issue.
