I bought my barely used Olympus C-5050Z for $200 a year ago. There were still a few new ones still being sold for $400 or so, now those are no longer available and a used C-5050Z is selling for quite a bit more now. However, if you keep an eye out you can usually find something pretty nice in that price range. The best deals come on used versions of recently discontinued cameras, because they should sell for less than the discontinued price. Of course if you insist upon new the best prices are for those discontinued models.
