I'm odd (as usual). I don't love 'em, don't hate 'em. Owned a few, shot lots. Now and then one can be had at a bargain (used). Most new bows, especially customs, are overpriced to me.
BW isn't nearly the most overpriced. It's not the most expensive out there, and when you get one you get a solid piece of equipment with good backing. I've seen much plainer, much poorer quality, with no backing (in short, the bowyer would not back up his work), that cost as much or more.
As for the original question, average cost is over a grand--as is the cost of lots of custom bows on the market today.
Don't be pressured into thinking you have to spend that much, or buy a particular name, to get a high quality bow or to be able to shoot accurately. The nut behind it is what makes the difference.
