Michael,
I just had the exact same experience with Mr2ndHand as I purchased my
first ever Newton. Make sure you give him some good feedback on eBay!
He's worth keeping an eye out for if you are looking to make a purchase.

Subject: [NTLK] Another Source for Newton 2100's
Hello,
I'd like to share my experience in purchasing a Newton 2100. I wanted a
second unit to use at school. I purchased a Newton 2100 with an Apple
4mb flash card, battery, ac adapter/charger, and serial cable through
eBay for $152.50. The person selling these 2100's seems to have a decent
supply. He deals under the name "mr2ndhand".
I want to let you know that this was one of the best purchasing
experiences I have had! He was extremely professional and communicated
immediately when I had questions, and made the whole experience feel as
if this was a business person who cared about his customer, products,
and honesty.
I received the Newton 2100 this morning. I could not be more pleased.
The Newton is very close to being in new condition! There are no
scratches, marks, dings, anywhere. All parts, clips, and doors are in
new shape. The screen is excellent and the back lighting is as if new.
The battery is like new and holds a full charge. I have purchased 3
other Newton 2100's in the past that were actually new, in sealed
factory boxes from Apple. I am almost as happy with this Newton as the
brand new units, and it only cost $150.
Another interesting part of the transaction is the process the vendor
uses for shipping. I was very pleased when the package arrived. It was
professionally labeled, etc. What was surprising was the system this
vendor has for packaging his products. I have never seen this method
before. The Newton and accessories were packaged in a static-free bag
and sealed. What is unique is the way everything was protected.
Mr2ndhand use some typed of spayed in expanding foam system to surround
and protect the item being shipped. The static-free bag containing my
Newton was encapsulated with this foam (which itself is covered by a
heavy protective plastic layers), at 3 inches around the entire unit. It
is as if your product is a yolk, protected by a three inch shell. This
vendor must have a serious investment in equipment to provide this level
of protection for his products. He is obviously cares about his
customers.
I wanted others to know of my excellent experience. Purchasing through
eBay vendor mr2ndhand (he has his a eBay store under that name), may be
a great alternative to others who were not able to buy through Mr. Brown
on an individual basis. Take care.
