Ask HN: Help with procuring a laptop for someone in New Delhi

Hello HN, I have an unusual request:

An internet friend of mine in New Delhi would very much like a laptop of their own to work on a little start-up idea full time in stead of in fits and starts, but shipping one internationally is going to be fraught with risk (theft, damage, etc).

So I'm wondering if anybody in or around New Delhi has a laptop that they would want to part with for a fair value, anything from a netbook or larger would be good.

If you do, please let me know and we'll arrange for payment and pick-up somehow, my email is j@ww.com

thank you.
