second hand works for me!<br><br>I'm working with the assumption that we (IlovemyXO & xoexplosion) are second-in-line; behind giving to repair centers, etc. Let me know price for items and I'll make up and order.<br>

Dear Tinkerers, Community Repair Centers & Friends<br>
<br>
To reduce OLPC's ongoing storage fees, we are drawing down our inventory<br>
of returned/used hardware -- Help Us Go Green!<br>
<br>
45 DOA XO Laptops (D Stock)<br>
Seed your own repair center or expand it!<br>
Many of these can be repaired using: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Fix_Clock" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Fix_Clock</a><br>
<br>
AT LEAST 85 Mangled XO Laptops (M Stock)<br>
Several of these machines still work, but have generally have 1 or<br>
more very serious physical defect.<br>
<br>
219 Used US/Canada Chargers (Chargers)<br>
Most of these work absolutely fine!<br>
<br>
I'd like to give these all away, to any deserving groups, Repair<br>
Centers, or motivated individuals doing good work in our community!<br>
I may also sell some of the above items to XOexplosion.com or<br>
iLoveMyXO.com as appropriate, if they are interested in second-hand<br>
merchandise.<br>
<br>
ALL proposals will be considered (individuals & groups) if you send me<br>
an email ASAP within the next few days describing:<br>
<br>
* What you want above, exactly how many of each, how you intend to<br>
use them.<br>
* Shipping is free of charge to most locations worldwide. You must<br>
include a COMPLETE shipping address AND phone number. We do not ship to<br>
PO Boxes.<br>
* We should have plenty to go around, but if a large number of<br>
people apply, I will favor groups that:<br>
- share larger amounts of hardware, or are working with existing<br>
community groups such as: <a href="http://groups.laptop.org" target="_blank">http://groups.laptop.org</a><br>
- take initiative starting an XO Laptop Lending Library, as<br>
outlined here: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program_criteria" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program_criteria</a><br>
- have a proven track record of helping others, eg:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair_center_locations" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair_center_locations</a><br>
* Indicate your flexibility; EG. if you want 10 units each of XYZ,<br>
but would accept 5 of X and Y.<br>
* All Hardware & Shipping & Customs Issues ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!<br>
<br>
ASIDE: if you are looking for brand new XO Laptops, they are available<br>
separately here, also free, if you join our spirit-of-building:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program</a><br>
(generally on a loaner basis so you later share with others in your<br>
community)<br>
<br>
Thanks :)<br>
