I looked at some finished eBay auctions when you first posted this, but forgot to reply. A Pioneer Elite player is probably gonna be outside your price range, but IIRC there was a CLD-D704 in very good shape with the manual and remote that sold for just over $150. If I hadn't stepped up to my DVL-919 way back when, I probably would have gotten a 704.

Also, some Pioneers are rebadged for other brands, including Mitsubishi and (I think) Marantz.

But admit it, you'll sell your car/kidney/sister to raise the dough for an X0, won't you?
