I bought a used but near-new SCCY 9mm pistol recently for $150 (they retail in the $200-$250 range). I am impressed by it. I have written about it earlier here. One of my best recent cheap guns was a Maverick (Mossberg) .30-'06 bolt action rifle I got new at Academy five years ago for less than $200 on sale. Plenty good enough for anyone's hunting needs. I didn't keep it too long, as I bought it mainly because it was cheap, not because I needed it. I played with it enough to get it out of my system and then sold it for more than I paid.
