Can "decent" binoculars be had for < $100? Suggestions?

I would say no... You can get close with some of the cheaper Vortex models $130-$150, like 257 said "you get what you pay for with glass"

I would think a lot depends on how you will use them. It seems cheap ones would work OK to quickly check movement because you don't want to point your gun an an unidentified movement.
I wouldn't want cheap ones to evaluate bucks in low light or spend hours glassing open country for game. Right.......I need something to use in a shooting house when I want to look at something (probably within 300 yds max) without fooling with raising my gun up, and the little ones I have now aren't cutting it. I'm not glassing for ELK 1000yds away. I'll look into some of the recommendations above.

I have some 10x40 Leupold bx-2 Acadia that I bought a few years ago for under $100. They are outstanding, the view is comparable to my Leupold vxlll 50mm scope in low light.
Cabelas has them now for $150

They are less that $100 and work perfectly for what I need them to do.

$100 good binoculars do not exist. For a few hundred look at the Zeiss terra, morphs meopro, or vortex vipers. They will get the job done for around $400-500. The bikers get good reviews in that price range.
