O_O Where do you live?
The cheapest shipping option I could find is 90 USD. Do you still want pics?
Can you provide some pix of it too? Does it work, boot etc? How much would you like for it incl. shipping?
I have a Tandy 1400 LT.
tehc0w, sounds interesting. Can you provide some photos?
I have a really really old laptop. The internal HDD is so small I'm not sure if it'll even run Windows 3.1. I don't know the details off the top of my head but I think it's an ~1985 laptop. Bulky and heavy too.
If you're interested, I'll dig it up from my closet

Thanks for your offer, but I already have a 486 laptop (Toshiba T2130CT). I need ones older than this, as I said - preferably 386, 286, 8086 etc. preferably with monochrome display.
As far as vintage laptops go, a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX is the oldest I go.
It was bought for my grandmother around 2 decades ago, but she rarely used it. So it's almost brand new, except for any dust that wasn't cleaned off, or the issues that happen over time.
The brightness adjuster is a bit wonky, and the battery is dead, but those are the only problems I've seen with it.

I corrected it in the later post 
I just need some really old hardware for some purposes.
Edit: I just noticed i got enigmatic again :rolleyes:

Yeah, figured. But you did say post 1990 
Well, I said vintage. Nothing past-1994 interests me.

I have a used one of those, in white. I'm thinking 60 btc shipped?

Update: Everything will interest me, as long if it has monochrome screen. Later (past-'90) hardware interests me too.
//SUSPENDED FOR NOW//I am looking for any pieces of portable vintage computing from the pre-1990 era. If you have any 286 trash with folding screens in your garages or basements, I will buy it for BTC. If the price rises above my BTC savings, I will consider mailing the rest in cash (PLN/EUR/USD). Of course I pay first, since I'm a newbie. Notice: Please don't offer any hardware in collector's condition, as I'm sure I can't afford it 
Shipping to Poland.
EDIT. Brief description of what I look for:
-80386 processor or weaker
-monochrome screen
-should rather boot
-doesn't need to have any peripherals, guidebooks etc.
-any condition from "in one piece" up
-hard disk preferred, but not necessary; eventually I might be interested in buying one separately
