well Graphire 2's are running about $80 US if you can find one...I was at their site and they aren't selling the the graphire 2's from there anymore because of the new Graphire 3's that have come out,,but the 3's are running about $100 US. and I will say a Wacom at least for me is the best way to go,,,Ihave a graphire 2 and totally love it.
