I think there's someone here selling a US version for $50 USD.

I am and I told a member from Canada that I'd sell it to him if no one from the US bought it by the end of the week.

It was hard to guage prices on this one, when I was checking up on it on ebay. I finally just decided to sell it for roughly what I paid for it years ago. I personally wouldn't pay more than ~$70usd for it. It's a nice enough little system, but the blurry screen on it makes it so that I'd rather be playing on a Genesis connected to a TV.

The screen on my Nomad is not blurry. It is well lit. It just depends on the person I guess. I got mine with a case, and 3 rechargeable battery packs and an AC adapter off ebay for $100 about 2 months ago. There are also replaceable screens for sale on ebay. I believe classicgamesource.com has screens as well.

are the screens blurry on them then
Yes. Due to the available LCD technology at the time, the Nomads *do* tend to blur a little. (Generally more noticeable in fast paced action titles...)

If you're looking to collect, the Nomad's an excellent little system. If you're looking to simply play Genesis games on the go, a PSP with custom firmware is WAY better.

I can hardly stand the PSP's screen too. Playing Dracula X chronicles gave me a headache due to the blur. They say the 3000 is going to be better though, if so I might get one again.
