Depends where you are located, like me here in Taiwan, I am expected to pay around $150-$200 U.S. for it, but if you are in the U.S you are probably going to pay less than $50 U.S. and I think similar for Canada. I just paid $70 U.S. for a non working Phillips CD-630. It turns out the CDM/4 laser head is bad and its going to cost me a lot more, so I end up giving it to my tech.

I would pass on those entirely. They were 14 bit oversampled to achieve 16 bit resolution. Yes, their warmer sound was preferable to the early 16 bit NOS or 2X OS machine from Japan because they were less offensive but the resolution was nothing like what was achieved when Philips went 16 x 4OS.

Nowadays, people are looking for the transport mechanism and that is why it is probably worth some 40 Euros in my country.
At least, i have seen a 40 euros bid on one, lately.
the CD100 or CD101 already gets bids of 100 Euros if in good condition.
I recently bought a collectors-oddball, it is a cd300 in very good condition, for 110 euros. You see it on this CL-alike marketplace maybe once or twice a year.
So this "way too much" is the right conclusion, indeed.
