Forums » Art & Creativity » Good but cheap tablet for drawing?

Ok so here's the deal, I recently broke my kindle fire (I basically shattered the screen by accidentally dropping it on my driveway) and I want an actual drawing tablet. Right not I only have around $80 or so, but I can get more by doing stuff around my house. So I was wondering if anyone had an idea about a good but cheap tablet that I could buy? I'd say my price range would be from $0-$300.

(PS My screen looks something like this.)
Wacom Bamboo Fun! They're no more than like $100 and are great. Bamboo Pen is about $70 Genius is another brand I like and they're incredibly cheap. I've never had issues with them and you can find some of their tablets for about $40-50. Check Amazon and eBay. C:

If you get a second hand Bamboo (I have a Bamboo Pen) you could probably knock the price down to about 30-40. It's worth checking out Ebay for sure! (I bought my second tablet for half price a long time ago, it was only used once and was over 50% off!)
EBay can be amazing. Took awhile of stalking listings, but I managed to get a perfectly good (though a little outdated) Cintiq for around $500. :3

Granted, that's over your established limit, but it's just an example.
Yeah I got ny bamboo fun for about forty hub mgs on eBay and it works perfectly! Check for used stuff for sure.
I got a nice new Genius tablet for around $50-$60. It's my first, so I can't say I have much experience with tablets, but I do enjoy drawing with it! It isn't too big, and with the way that I typically hold it my thumb is right atop the undo button... which is convenient for someone like me who's just starting out ^^;
Monoprice, $35, lasted me five years.
