Even at those prices, they aren't bad. I have several preference points in Wyoming, and will just wait the extra year or two and try to pull a regular tag, instead of the special tags. Subscribe to eastmans hunting journal. A buddy of mine works for them and they have an excellent Memers Research Section included in every issue that is almost worth the price of the subscription in itself. It outlines all the hunting units of each species across the western states, regulations, draw odds, etc. it's a great tool.
