I did a search for the Nomad and saw a couple that went for close to that price on epay.  I usually try to look at the going rate, then adjust for how much enjoyment I will get out the bow.  I wouldn't pay that much, but I like longbows.  My two cents.

If the bow is in good shape, that sounds like a very good price. Shoot it and you'll know if you got a deal. I have an old, ugly Black Bear that I think I gave $63 for that shoots better than any other bow I own. In fact, that's the one I hunted with this fall.

I think any time you can buy a recurve or longbow in good shape for under a hundred bucks, you made a good deal JMHO.

If you shoot it well, and like it, then $90.00 is a deal.  I have paid $500.000 - $700.00 for some bows, and hated them?

any bow you like to shoot and only paid $90 for is a great deal.
