I have had an inversion table for two months and find it useful for lessening Lower Back pain. I also like the fact that I can do sideways and forward crunches while hanging upside down in traction without aggravating a disc as normal crunches would. This allows ab strengthening which further enforces the benefit to the back.
I don't know whether you can get a new machine at a store for $100 - I paid about $250 for mine, but I've seen resales on eBay for much less. Most people agree that you should try the machine before buying, or at least buy from a local store with a no questions asked return policy. Some people feel very uncomfortable upside down with the blood rush to the head. The machines take almost an hour to assemble, so you might look around for a store that would let you try it on site - they tend to be cautious about that.

Stamina InLine Inversion System Fitness Machine
The Stamina® InLine® Inversion System looks like a padded, upholstered chair but converts to a flat table as you invert so getting on is as easy as sitting in a chair. Once you are seated and have secured your ankles, you lean back and invert to the angle of your choice. As you invert, the chair converts to a table so you are inverted at a prone position to best stretch and strengthen your back.
