It seems to go for about $90 all the way to $350 on ebay. There are quite a few for $90-100. Do you guys think this is a reasonable price or should I be looking elsewhere?
Anyone actually own this system? What are your thoughts on it?

For a long time they were selling for $50 plus $50 shipping from China. They were NIB systems. I'd say $100 total for a NIB or mint in box system is fair. I own one and I have a near complete collection of games for it. It's one of my favorite systems mostly because I was a huge Amiga user back in the day and there's something a little clunky to the design which appeals to me.

I bought mine off Ebay for $70 + $35 Shipping - coming from somewhere international - can't remember. It's worth every penny. A most excellant system that had absolutely no love here in the USA. Tons of games for it as well! I love mine :)

Up until they found the shipments of CD32s in China, you could expect to pay $75-150 for a used NTSC CD32.
Now it seems to be $100-125 for a new one shipped from China which is a bargain for something that's 15 years old and brand-new (I have a spare in the closet for this reason).

I really need to pick one of those up off eBay. I've always been a huge Amiga fan since the days of my Amiga 1000 (with 512K memory expansion that only a tenth of my software recognized), and I remember reading about the CD32 with fascination. But I couldn't justify paying $299 for one from the only Amiga store left in Dallas at the time. That place never marked things down over time, like their old OCS games that came out six years before but they still wanted $45 for it.
Nowadays I jump on those oddball game consoles and shun the more mainstream stuff. I've got a Tapwave Zodiac, a Nokia N-Gage QD and a Gizmondo, but I don't have either a PSP or a DS. That's because there's millions of those out there, so they will never be hard to find in the future. Everybody's got a Nintendo Wii, but how many people own a Xavix GamePort? Plus, there's the underdog aspect of it, supporting the 'little guy' when you kind of know it's hopeless.
