E.O.I. Laptops

Just wondering whether there would be any interest for a couple of TravelMate 213TX's. Both have zero dead pixels, good as new condition (except one has a piece of sticker missing...see below).
Laptop 1:
Laptop 2:
Sorry about the quality of the pics, it was too dark without flash, and with the flash it was too bright...ran out of battery power in my camera before being able to take better pics 
Specs:
Intel Celeron 850MHz CPU
256mb RAM (PC-100 Synchronous DRAM)
14" Active Colour LCD Screen
PCI Bus Video, 128-bit graphics accelerator
10GB Hard Disk, 1.44 3.5" Diskette Drive
Internal 24X CD-ROM
Internal 10/100mbit Fast Ethernet
Internal 56K ITU V.90 Data/Fax Modem
NiMH Battery (up to 2.5 hours using power mangement) + you can still buy the model's battery brand new.
16 Bit stereo, 3D full duplex audio- Soundblaster Pro compatible
1 x PCMCIA type II slots /1 X PCMCIA Type III
2 x USB, 1 x Serial Port, 1 x COM Port
Built-in stereo speakers
Weighs in at 2.89kg
These are ex-government laptops, with upgraded options from factory (256mb memory, extra USB etc.), re-imaged with a fresh install of Windows XP Professional. Both were found at the bottom of a filing cabinet, I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't been used since day one. The teacher's down here have now had their old laptops replaced by newer TravelMates, and only about half of the teachers use them. I'll probably come across the new models at the bottom of a filing cabinet in the future, probably never even booted up. Until then, I think these deserve to be put to good use.
It's a bit hard to tell considering my awful photography skills, but notice the scratch on the badge below?
Well believe it or not, it isn't on the badge itself, but on the protective plastic sticker stuff that comes on the laptops from the factory. 
A pic of one booting up (without power plugged in).
So yeah, just wondering if there's any interest for these, I'm considering keeping one myself...but yeah if I get a decent offer they're good to go. (I don't need any more computers at home!)
All questions/requests welcome. Don't hesitate to PM for my e-mail add. if you would prefer

looks like it's AE82Gunner 
yes, they come with a power cable/charger/carry bag each.
i've had a few offers around the 400 mark, but those seem to have fallen through. similar spec laptops seem to go for around $450 on ebay...so yeah.. i'd consider offers around $300, otherwise i might have to resort to putting them on ebay
that price is each too.

I'm not ignoring your offer AE82Gunner, but if I sold them to you at that price you could easily make a profit of $400+ if you decided to put them on ebay
I only posted them last night, so hopefully I won't have to resort to that. If all else fails, you have the highest bid so far (except a local buyer who has offered me $220 for one of them).
