I agree with what's been said about the used market. I picked up a Hoyt Trykon in January 2008 (it would have been used 2 seasons) in good condition for under $300. Time of year certainly has something to do with it, and now probably isn't the best time to buy, as we're going into hunting season and a lot of people are shopping for new stuff. If I were in the market, I'd spend a lot of time on Ebay, Craigs list, etc., and not be too picky as to a particular bow, and try to recognize the good deals when I came upon them (sometimes easier said than done).
