It depends what you want from a receiver. You can easily get high end stuff used for $200 or so plus shipping as long as you don't mind not getting the latest model. Just last week I've seen a 2016 Atmos enabled onkyo for $150, one of the RZ models too so not the low end garbage.

They only cost a ridiculous amount if you want the whole enchilada (8k/hdr+/vrr/wifi+bluetooth/atmos/dts:x/dirac), or if you are buying the retard tier ones where the brand costs more than the components (from Marantz and above they all get stupid overpriced).
