So thinkpads are great true, but the market has been cannibalized and prices have increased.
Are there any other cheap older laptops, say in the $100 and under range, that have reasonable build quality and good Linux support?
just buy a chromebook

This. I want to fall for the think pad meme but they just won't get drop in price. I should be able to get a T420 for $100

not nearly as much as you might expect anon
look into your local market, you can find some great deals
I live in the bay area, I saw an ad for someone selling a thinkpad X220 for $100 today

My T42 has excellent build quality and runs xubuntu relatively well. Cost 40 syrupbucks.
I snagged an X1 on ebay for $220 last week. Looks like it sat on a desk and checked emails.

couldn't find a decent thinkpad without a 1366x768 for less than $500, got a used dell xps/precision, cost slightly more but 2x the laptop
