Used to inly be about 50 bucks 20 years ago. Still not the same because of inflation, but even 5 or 10 years ago you could still get them for 150. Now it's impossible to get them below 250 unless you're adopting. And also 300 is just what Marshall is charging (and they fucking suck) so if you want one that isn't from basically a breeding mill (less health issues, lives longer, gets to develop more before getting fixed) those can go up to 3-400
