You can buy a good saddle for $40.00.
I have a < $40.00 Velo saddle that I have been rocking for well over 5 years and it has seen a ton of miles... it is comfortable because it is the right width and has a centre channel to reduce pressure to the perineal area.
Most of my saddles are leather but the non leather saddles I have are also quite nice... find that Terry makes a great men's saddle and am using one of those on my separable touring bike. This is a $70.00 saddle that I picked up for $5.00 at a demo clearout.
