I just found out an acquaintance of mine reps for AT, and he says he can get me some good deals on their mics. I think it's high time I expand my mic selection a bit. Here's what I use at the moment:

4 SM57s (may be trading two of these for a pair of Beta 56As today depending on whether this craigslist guy comes through)
Sennheiser e602 (I want to buy a Beta 52 and sell the Sennheiser through)
2 MXL603s
2 Behringer ECM8000 (or 3000 or whatever the model number is on those cheap little condensors)
1 CAD M37 (which is the same thing as the M177 and is a pretty good all-purpose large diaphragm condensor)

And I'm about to buy a Sennheiser e609 for my guitar cabs. I'm thinking a new condensor is in order as I don't have too much variety in that regard at the moment. I'm not sure what kind of prices this guy can get me, but I don't have loads of money to spend. I should probably keep this purchase under $200 if I can. I was looking at the AT3035 or the AT2020, though I've heard mixed things about them. Any suggestions?
 
Just to let you know, I got my AT4040 new + free shipping on eBay for $199...that's under/right at your price range. Haven't really heard anything bad about this mic, and I love it. Use it mostly for acoustic and vocals, though I tried it on my cab, and it did the job.
 
Yeah, that one looks pretty nice too. I'll have to see just how much of a discount I can get on these things.
