I would try Ebay or like others said some of the other websites.  www.mountain-archery.com is a pretty good website as well. 

Here is a 2009 Diamond Iceman.  Their flagship bow that year.  It's listed brand new at $459 bare bow.  Itll be tough to find a flagship bow brand new for cheaper than that. It won the Editors Choice Award in 2009 from Outdoor LIfe Magazine.  Here's the link.  Scroll down to see the review.

Bowtech Assasin... probably the best package deal out there in that price range.

I looked on there at that, nice looking bow!  I am going to have to shoot one of those.

Just posted prices on some Martins I saw in the Bargain Cave at Lacey Cabelas in the archery section.  All under $300.

If you have been shooting archery for a while and it sounds like you have I have to say I think you are looking at things the wrong way. You have been shooting and you know what you like and dont like about your bow and it time in your mind to move on. You should go out and shoot every bow possible either at pro shops or at a local range and find a bow that makes you happy, one that feels good to you. Then search for a good deal on that bow, or save until you can buy a bow like it. Dont settle for a smoking deal unless you know nothing else feels good in your hand. SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A BOW THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND FEEL GOOD! Dont settle for one you are not happy with just because it was a cheap deal.

I'm going to be getting a new bow pretty soon also. I want to go with Martin. I like that they are made in Washington.

I would suggest the Hoyt Maxxis.  I picked mine up for around that price and it was ready to hunt.  I just took it into the shop to have it checked out since I bought it off of e-bay.

Thanks for all the input.  I'm definetly planning on shooting what I can get my hands on.  I didn't really think about it but I have a new whisker bisquit and new sight on my current bow.  I could always buy a bare bow and throw those on too.

came across some posts on another bowhunting site the other day and a few folks were really raving about their 2011 PSE Brute, saying it was great buy at $400 . . . I know nothing about it, other than I remembered reading it and thought I'd pass it along
