A lot of it, even most of it, but not all of it--comparitively speaking of course.
For instance, you can still pick up a lot of great old bows (and some new ones) at a bargain.
I seelots of folks, and know a few, that think the more it costs the better it must be. Not always the case. One of the most accurate archers I've ever known kicked butt left and right with an old bow he either got for free, or paid $20-$25 for (I forget--he's gotten bows both ways, forget which way he got that particular bow). It is an old Bear "Black Bear". Probably the butt-ugliest bow I've ever seen, but most folks were a lot more impressed with what he could do with it vs. how it looked.
On the other hand, I've see guys shooting bows that cost $1,000+ that could barely hit a barn--from the inside. I've shot some that were georgeous to look at, but if I had to use it I wouldn't pay $5 for a truck load of them--the polar opposite of the Bear I just described.
I've also seen the exact same bow vary a whole lot in price simply due to the brand name written on it, and one guy get very upset when he found out about that.
The old adage "you get what you pay for" does often apply, but this sport is the oddball in more ways than one. The adage that is much more applicable, IMO, is "you get back what you put into it".
What's the name of the new quiver? Not likely I'll buy one, but I'd like to see it.
