John,
I've gotten several 1400's for about $10-$20, but they were all As-Is. I've
been lucky that all of 'em worked, but I wouldn't count on getting a good
1400 at that price.
Seems to me like the going rate for 1400's on E-Bay last time I checked was
in the $80-$150 range, so that's pretty close to your stated price range (on
the low end, at least). The 1400 would probably be a pretty good choice,
except for the CD-RW issue. Heck, if I didn't like 'em, I wouldn't have 4 of
'em!
I've never seen the 1400CS screen (all mine are 1400C's), but I imagine it
would be worth whatever extra you'd have to pay to get up to the active
matrix display.
Ciao!
Winfidel

Well, I don't do drugs. So the cheap drugs would be out of the
question ;). I was thinking the 3400c, but I'm assuming I'm not going
to get one for under $50. My second choice would be the 1400c/cs but I
was wondering if I could get anything better. Being able to read
CD-RWs is not extremely important but it would be nice.
