So what do people think a reasonable price for a Newton MessagePad 100 is?

probably no more than 50 bucks. you can pick up a really nice 2100 for about 150..

Really? I kinda expected they'd be worth more. Are they not considered collector's items or anything?

These guys here are supposed to be a reputable vendor for Newtons. The don't carry the lower end models any more...but still have 2000's and 2100's..

J&K Sales, Inc.

I have been debating picking up a 2100 for a while now...

Dime a dozen. I own a 100 and a 130. Near mint condition. I drag em out about once a year and put some new AAs in and use it until the batterys go dead. Then I put it on the shelf again for it's one year hibernation.
