If you watch Ebay, you can get an Eclipse CD3000 from Tradingcircuit (Circuit City) for $60-$100. I ordered one and the only problem was there was a sticker on the box that was ripped off and the picture on the box got screwed. Just watch the descriptions, some of them are actual returns that don't work and some are really BNIB with messed up packaging.

I just won one for $78. I was pretty happy about it.
