I found a Mk. 2 for $400 on ebay, does that seem like a fair price in your guys opinion? Cosmetics are nice, no AC Adapter, and a pretty long runtime in the BIOS but doesn't show it in any form of scuffs or damage.

Anyone want to buy a sealed retail copy of Windows 7 Ultimate? Lol, perhaps time to make a new thread.

and how many hours is it ?

A little over 17,000 (17270 in the picture), but as I said, it looks like it sat on a desk the whole time. Any reason I should worry about that runtime minus the obvious?

well it is a lot of hours but it can add up fast. I bought my 53MK1 with 70 hours on it about 4 months ago and it has 2160 hours on it now and the same on my 52MK4...if I was only using my 52 all the time then it would have close to 5000 hours. You say that 52MK2 is $400.00 well it is a little over priced since I only paid $600.00 for a 52MK4 i5 cpu , 4GB memory and I think it had 120 or 160GB SSD in it for just $200.00 more

Yeah. I'm going to best offer them. Any suggestions as to what a good offer would be?

I paid $224.00 each for my 2...one of them had no hdd caddy. one had 1700 and the other had 3800 hours. Myself I would not pay more than $300 only because of the hours on it but thats me.
Below is the two I got

Someone actually paid the full $400 right out from under me, guess they didn't see the hours lol.

Oh well, was not meant to be. Thanks for the advice.

Grabed a 500 and some odd hour unit for $300 today, Mk2H with Radeon 3650, looks absolutely pristine. I guess I lucked out considering I did not buy from an enthusiast this time (always prefer to do that) but regardless, I'm happy.

Oddly, this unit was obviously missing the enter key, but they replaced it with of all things, a caps lock key! Any advice on how to relabel or attain toughbook keys? My OCD will go nuts with that, hehe.

Give me a week and I just mght have one...need to look. Send me a PM in a week...
