Yes. The 6114 and serial number 92230746 tell you it's a v.2 made on August 11th 1989.

If it is what it says it is.

How high?…I’m imagining maybe US$1200. I’m thinking the seller is doing himself a disservice
by not taking it out and putting it on full display, contrary to what he’s saying.

I wonder if a collector buys this, will he open the box or leave it in extra super rare factory sealed condition?

What is in the box regards

The prices for these computers are not about their strength but the rarity and condition.

Id say the 2100 is harder to find then the V2
at least thats my experience
i have been looking to replace my faulty 2100 for several years now..even making outrageously high offers here to buy one with no box,Manual, Pieces or adaptor
response has been ...nada,zip ..crickets

2100 has gotten so unplayable i boxed it up and whipped out a V9 and im settling for that right now

Voiceless Regards
