For that price, you're looking at quite used (and possibly of questionable calibration / shape--or from someone offering a family / friends discount). But if you're a hobbyist, you could always build your own using a computer, a microcontroller with an A/D and a serial / USB interface, and a graphics package. I believe you may also be able to find some USB-based ones that are basically what I described previously in the back of Circuit Cellar or some such.
