I definitely agree with that. I too, also learned on a Bundy and had it elementary through part of high school. That sax had a great tone. I would agree that's it's not the best though, but definitely good enough for a beginner.Yamaha YTS 21 or 23 should be possible in that budget. Might find a Vito branded version of the Yamaha for even less.
I don't think Bundys are awful, just not very good. I've had several of them, and have had one in all but name (it's branded a Buescher but it's basically the same as a Bundy) for well over 40 years. It was my first sax and I have a sentimental atachment to it, but it's nowhere near as good a sax as a student Yamaha.
I have a sentimental attachment as well.
Hopefully the OP can find something in their budget shipped to Moldova.
Edit: I've really only seen one website recommendation as far as Europe is concerned.
Do any of you have a western europe shop that is your go too that has an online presence for the OP to explore?
Maybe one of you know somebody that can help him out?
