It also depends on what you want to do with it. For example, if you also want to record your music an external amp is relatively difficult to set up, and you also need a microphone + stand and a really quiet room. Getting a software amp and connecting your computer to your hi-fi can yield superior results. The drawback, obviously, is that it's not a real amp, and that it only works with your computer. So if you want to use it to perform live, you'll need a laptop.
Another solution: The newly released Line6 POD HD series: < ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">http://line6.com/podhd/index.html These will give you a *lot* of variety - and you don't need a computer. You'll still need an amp, but it can be your hi-fi, your computer, headphones etc..

Kind of depends on how loud you want to get, doesn't it? I got a good new keyboard amp for about that price.

Used is your best bet. And the best thing about used equipment? It's usually in great shape because musicians are always broke and pawning or selling their stuff. I've got some unbelievable deals at the music shops in my area.

Under $300? You won't find anything "good" unless you get a great deal on something used. You could probably find some old badass solid-state amp from the 80s for $300, which would be your best bet IMO.
Personally, I'd say save up a bit, spend about $700 and get yourself some kind of low-wattage tube amp. I have one of these and it's absolutely beautiful |

For home use, or if you're comfortable performing on stage with a laptop:
