Advice?
What do you think is a reasonable price to pay for a 100 ish gallon tank, stand and all equipment?

that really depends on the type of equipment... probably best to be patient, because quite a few full systems come up for sale at a really good price...

very hard to say because depend on the equipment. There are huge difference in price between a vortech and koralia power head. Bubble King vs Aquamedic skimmer, etcc...
I would say for a decent setup, $700-$1000 should get you one system from some one who wants to get out of this hobby

 I definatly recommend finding someone whos is moving or "shutting down" and selling a complete system. Even if you don't like the fish, corals or equipment you can change/trade/sell, whenever you want. Most people have $5000+ into an aquarium that size and they usually sell for less than a $1000 (Which doesn't even cover the stand, sump and aquarium) Also do as much research as possible on anything you can get your hands on. You should know that this can be very addictive aswell, so be prepared to attend AA (Aquarium Addict) meetings and interventions  Good luck!
