It was in the 1000s a few years ago. That was "professional level", not "rich people shit", because it can be a useful investment.
Now, it's "enthusiast level; affordable enough for interested people to play around with it, and cheap enough that you can let it rot in a drawer after losing interest.
What you want is probably "cheap e-waste" level.
