Getting into the "good" (as in B+ performance) starts around $150, but every once in a while, a deal can be found, such as searching eBay for a used Vector 955 for $67 or something.
Some to look for deals on:
Bel Vector 940, 955, 965, 995
Bel V6, V8
Escort 8500
Whistler Pro 78 SE or 695
The downside of buying used is that it may need to be serviced by the factory for a fee...but on the plus side, after they service it, it's typically running really good.
