I'm almost afraid to say what I paid for one of them. Personally, depending
on what was bundled with it, I have purchased MP200U's and MP2100's for
anywhere from $150 to $750 CDN.

IMO: The buyer dictates the value. If you are comfortable paying the price
and you feel you got value for your money, that's all that matters. I want
to make darn sure I'm never without one again. I went crazy for 6 months
when my first one took an unscheduled sababticle. The amount of reliablity I
require makes it easier for me to justify a higher price tag. I guess it's a
personal thing.

Cheers,
Stefan

Christian raises a good point: what would the list members say is a
good price for a new unused MP2100?

(I was watching the auction yesterday for KnowledgeNavigator's 2100
with great interest and was going to put in an offer--until the
auction was pulled with three left to sell >:-( I've contacted
NewtonSales.com about that but haven't received a response so far.
Then there's what seems like a dissatisfaction with
KnowledgeNavigator that I don't understand. Feel free to contact me
off-list to set me straight, please!)

Thanks,
Andre.

p.s. LD Is awesome! LOTS of movies still only available on LD so many
that Roger Ebert has retained a substantial portion of his LD
collection along side his truly enormous DVD library.
