If you can afford to spend some time hitting yard/garage sales you can eventually come across something well worth the money. I have two Bear, Grayling bows, a Kodiak and Black Bear. Got $85.00 in both of them and the Black Bear had a half dozen old Pearson cedar arrows with it...still in the original box with those huge, perforated two blade braodheads such as I started with back in the mid 60's.
