FYI- my extra Teac/Tascam PE-120 microphone pair (Nak CM-300 clones) sold recently for $150.

Depending on exchange rate and where OP is located, they may actually come in under his budget of $200 each. I recently paid 250 euros for a pair, including shipping to the US. At today's exhange rate that would be around $310.

Beat me to it. :D Check out the Team Line Audio thread here on TS (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=172445.0) and this other HUGE thread on Gearslutz (https://www.gearslutz.com/board/remote-possibilities-in-acoustic-music-and-location-recording/644759-cm3-really-good.html) about them.

Also, you should buy them from JP Gerard at No Hype Audio (http://www.nohypeaudio.com/lineaudioproducts.htm), who is cheaper than the eBay link here and has first rate customer service. 250 EUR for a pair shipped to USA as heathen said.
