Looks like $150 to me.
Amazon has it for $99: http://www.amazon.com/Konica-Minolta-magicolor-1600W-capacity/dp/B001Q3KMUI
My only Konica Minolta ( Page pro1350 pro ) was thrown to trash can before 1st drum is used up.. Never get Konica Minolta again in my life time..
BTW, CompWiz17 Long time not to see your posting. How is everything??
I got a Magicolor 2430DL three years ago for $80 and it's been an awesome, reliable color laser, very inexpensive to refill with compatible toner from ebay. Works great with PCs and Macs. Only problem I had with it is my dumb cat sat on the output tray and broke it so now paper goes flying out of it.
This printer won the PCMag editor's choice award for a low-cost color laser printer, beating out the Samsung CLP-315 due to its faster printing and crisper text.

So, it seems to be an excellent deal for $100.
#2: pretty good. I've been really busy over the last few months, but I've finally got a little breathing room.
It's at $99 + $2.95 shipping for me:
Total: $101.95
^^ That reviewer is kind of clueless, in a color laser you want it bigger so the paper path isn't as tight, so it can hold more toner, so it has larger more durable gears, rollers, and ventilation paths so the heat from the fuser doesn't make all the plastic brittle as soon.
In the end though, being able to buy 3rd party toner saves enough money that most of the other issues are of little importance on a mere $100 printer. Speed and text crispness (which is always great on laser printers) not so important as dithering or banding issues trying to print photorealistic images.
My only experience with a Konica Minolta was really awful. I ended up throwing the printer away. The driver destroyed Windows. I finally figured out that you couldn't have 2 printers on your computer with one of them being the Konica Minolta. I routinely run with 2 or 3 printers, so that sealed its fate. When the (at least American speaking) support finally called, I told them I had chucked it in the dumpster.
