As Climbau said, to get full featured pack would cost a lot more than that new. Having said that, you can get a really simple 65-70L pack (read one big compartment + lid compartment) in a good brand (such as a Macpac Ravine) for about $200...provided the more basic harness on these simpler models is OK for you.
