Monkeys are legal to own in MO so it is likely you'll be able to find a breeder near by you if you google it. However, you will NOT get a monkey for as little as $100. $1000 would be more realistic, with most reputable breeders charging more like $2000 to $3000 for an infant monkey.
Monkeys can live for about 30 years, they cannot be house broken and will be disruptive and violent if they get bored. Having a monkey is like having a child. Make sure you are in it for life.
