Thanks guys for pointing out what's available and the references....
which will be useful the next time something good comes around!
The C200 runs the newer 64-bit processor, the PA8200, which is RISC 2.0,
and (I'd imagine is) quite a bit different than the PA7300.
I don't understand the silly pricing either. Who's buying them? Who is
forking over $1000, $1500, etc for these old machines? I don't really
even buy the "some business relies on this and have never updated"
because you'd have to have some smart folks on standby who could
reinstall software, reconfigure machines with licenses, etc. Assuming
you still had the necessary CDs etc.

There is an ebay seller 'biff-howard-tanen' that has some C200s up
right now. All their items have "Make an Offer'' and they tend to be
fairly reasonable as long as you account for the free shipping they
offer. I've had mostly good luck with buying from them, and they made
right the couple oops.
I can vouch for them as a seller in the same way, I've also gotten reasonable prices
from them when making offers that account for shipping, and the seller actually knows how
to pack stuff. Same with eBay seller jonnyadler, though their list price for a C180 is,
let's say, "optimistic.")
