There's a Refresh Computer on eBay selling a CF-19 for $350.00
there are like 10K hrs on it, looks clear the screen, has the dongle (pen) has the Battery, No Caddy No HDD, Wireless thay say is not there, don't know why? they say touch works, all ports and doors are there, the plastic isn't proken and the screen protector is scratched all to hell.

Is this something worth buying, are they reputable. I don't know why somone said black hawk toughbooks has a rep, i assume its not agreeing with you guys but no worries. I been reading this forum for months, finally got my first tb. other laptops they overheat, noisy, they batt dies after 1 year and made most likely in china. I was amazed that my black tb battery the yellow one not the blue has gon like for 5 hrs already and still going, you dont get that with new bats so hell with it, I buy used laptops now. I do like shooter MW3 games and my machine plays it but it lags, I read the dual core is faster and it takes a SATA which is faster. Again is this worth it or a scam. Where do I turn to for help? The only people who helped was my first seller, but they have no such thing as this 19, and seem too busy for help, they told me to go here, hope I didn't do something stupid with the seller i picked so far its a great laptop, but I want to buy some upgraded faster machines and i know 19's run into the thousands on ebay so maybe somone knows. so far thanks for responding so fast, hope i'm not wasting the forum member time. Thanks also how did you guys get your profile pics, I can't figure it out. thanks Mark, how do I list me machines below like you guys did?

I don't know this seller, so I can't comment on that.
What mk 19 is this? 10k is a lot, but these are known to take even much more use. Do you have a full number for this specific TB?
I'm not sure what Blackhawk toughbooks has done in the past, but at least they rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and I've seen posts from them that aren't polite, to say the least. I have no desire for a black painted toughbook, so I never looked in to them, but a quick search on this forum would most likely get you enough on that topic.
Where are you located?

Dual Core's are much faster for a lot of tasks, but playing Shooter MW3 games asks for dedicated graphics, which the 19 doesn't have.
Sata is a lot faster when compared with IDE, but it takes a SSD to make it really fast.

$350 isn't that much if it is a fully working CF-19. I do really like my mk5. But mine is used for working (typing reports and documents, reviewing pdf's and drawings, all on the go. I got quite well used to the smaller keyboard and normal/regular keyboards are comfusing my fingers these days )
But a lot of people here prefer a CF-30/31 over a 19 because of the bigger screen, better graphics or larger keyboard. Or they even buy a 51/52/53 because these are cheaper/better spec'ed but still nicely rugged.

Nope not wasting our time . To add to your sig go to User CP, then to Edit Signature. Post you Toughbook and click save. Done

Have you checked this out yet The CF-29 F.A.Q. - Read me before posting . This one page will give you a very good idea what you can and can't do to your 29.

Also I sent you a PM .

...., are they reputable.

Refresh Computers are good guys in my book. Their store in Longwood FL is about 20 minutes from my house and I have bought several computers from them, both at the store and on-line (Ebay and their own web site). They always seem interested in customer satisfaction. Descriptions are usually accurate, however you should read it carefully since they seem to sell the better items in their store or own web site, the ones on Ebay are often lower quality items at a discount.
