If you go to k-bid.com (http://www.k-bid.com/), click on "Click Here for Current Auctions," scroll down to "Jobs Foundation Auction #58," and then "Click here to view and bid," you'll see a couple of lots with laptops (several laptops < $40). Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but the prices are dirt cheap right now. Maybe several people would want to go in on one of the auctions together. -Erik On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 8:22 AM, Shawn Fertch <sfertch at gmail.com> wrote: > I know I could hit up ebay, but looking to stay local and actually see the > product before purchase.
