A working omnibot2000 does go for that much and more. I think I paid $180 for my second one last year and it came with the tray too. The first one I got had no tray and a broken arm and that I think was near $100. Just like we said in another thread, set up and EBay alert when something comes up in your price range. I know you're excited to get started but it takes time to get one that isn't that expensive. Maybe you can work out a deal with MikeDC. He has so many of them.

I was also trying to bid for that one.... Its gone far beyond my reach

yea i recently have been checking out the pleo robot i wonder if it is as good as they say it is
