There was one user that got one for $150 (might have been buy it now as well), and mentioned that the seller had another one going for the same price(both fully working).

Also, given that all the important electronics lie behind the e-ink I would find it hard to believe that whatever smashed the e-ink didn't break anything else back there. If I'm right and it is the ribbon cable replacing the motherboard wont do anything anyway, it may be that the ribbon cable in the damaged EE is fine, but that's a bit of a long shot, and you can probably get an equivalent cable many places for far less money(even free).
