Now I might post for broken PC's for parts but THIS is in excess don't you think?????

DESCRIPTION:
I am a humble college student in desperate need of an upgrade from
the 9-year-old Pentium II laptop -- a Dell Latitude CPt S500GT -- I have
had to use for the past several years.
I need a Pentium 3 or higher notebook, most preferably with a
trackpoint device (the little "eraser head" in the middle of the
keyboard). A Dell or IBM model would be best. The laptop must have a CPU
speed of 1 GHz or faster. It should include an adapter, a battery that
can hold charge for at least 10 minutes, and a CD drive. The LCD screen,
keyboard, and pointer buttons should be working properly. It would be
nice to have at least 512 MB of RAM and a 30 GB hard drive, but I can
transplant such parts from my old laptop if I have to.
If you do not have such a machine you would be willing to give me, I
would at least be able to speed up my old notebook a little with 2
sticks of 256MB PC100 RAM. In any case, please let me know if you can
help me, and ask me any questions you might have for me.


Me Shaking my head in disbelief

I understand and totally agree. I see posts for people wanting cars, computers, riding lawn mower, refrigerators and so many wants. Offers are usually much smaller items. Why buy when you can ask for it. lol I use my delete button.

It wouldnt bother me if it were someone disabled who had NO computer at all and need one to earn an income but this person HAS a laptop and did you see the part about how fast they want it? OMGoodness.........I dont want to tell you what that cost's but I bet you can use your imagination..........

Yes, Wants and NEEDs are to totally different critters and this sounds to me like pure greed...............

Exactly!

This makes you shake your head because you are not a "Gimmie". You were taught that you worked for what you got. There is one on my local Freecycle now that is asking for a motorcycle, running of course!

We also had a person with 11 names that they used on the area freecycles to get things and then sold them on Craig's List. Once I figured it out I sent it all to the moderator. Not only was she selling things, but she would have people deliver them to her!

It takes all kinds, doesn't it?

That is Crazy!!!!!! I could Never do that I know there are things I need but darn I wait untill they are offered and than see if I were the first to reply and what not .... Not just be Gredy Ugggg....
