Anywhere from $5 to $200, depending on options, condition, venue... I got
a 32K model in nice shape at a flea market for $14 (Thanks Rax!), and have
paid over $100 for a mint condition one, with RJ-11 cable, acoustic cups,
tape player, 32K, hard shell case, floppy, manuals, slip case, etc.
If you just want one to use, you should be able to get one pretty quick for
$50 or so. If you're willing to wait, you may find one at a thrift shop or
flea market for much less.
Keep in mind, also, that other versions are available: The Nec PC-8201,
PC-8201a, PC-8300, Olivetti M-10, Kyocera KC-85, TRS-80 Model 102 and Model
200 all are either very similar or identical. Note that the NEC PC-8401A,
Olivetti M-15, and Radio Shack Model 600 are *not* related, other than in
similar names.
Also, I would be more than happy to trade a true m100 for pretty much any
of the others (except maybe the PC-8201a) along with some cash if they
didn't suit your needs (not enough memory, no modem, etc.)
