Default Good price on switchback?

I have a browning illusion that I love, but have a buddy selling his bow, so I was thinking of getting it as a backup.

It is a 2005 Mathews switchback 29'in draw 70pd limbs. It has a muzzy zero effect rest, and sights, but am not sure about what brand.

He is asking $450.

Good price, or just ok?

cant beat that. That is one heck of a back up bow. You might find you like it better than your browning.

I tried both out at the local pro shop, and like the illusion better than the switchback so I bought it, but it would be a good back up bow if I ever have a problem with my browning.
