[NTLK] Clear developer's Newton 110 pops up on eBay | MacNN

[Larry Zasitko]

Yeah, expensive.... but just think his original buy it now was just shy of $2,000 and with shipping....
Yes they look cool but I wouldn't spend that much for one. Trying to recall what the last one went for on ebay but at the moment it eludes me, maybe someone here can recall, seems to me it was in the 4 hundred range. I thought there are some 2000 transparent's around too but it could be my old brain misfiring. 
All the prices for items he has on ebay seem high $100 for a 100, $600 for a Classic II, SE, eMate etc but the only thing he says works is the SE (Funny thing was that I picked one up about a year ago for $20.00 and it works good). eMate he says there is no reason it shouldn't work but its minus the power supply and stylus. he has another auction for just an eMate for $55. When I bought mine I spent around $25 for it. $30 for a Contax lens cap, yes they are metal and plastic but still....
Maybe I should sell some of my stuff....

I just need the seller to move the decimal point on the $1,350.00 price tag one place to left and that will (probably) help move it into the realm of possibility, as opposed to the realm of fantasy that the $1,350.00 unit existed in (for me, at least).
