first one i got that died i paid ~$30 at roberts camera in indy, which was a deal, though it wasn't in great shape. the one i just got from Harris was $57 and tested against a Luna Pro F. They tend to sell for around $50-75 on ebay, few to none are tested against a known meter.
it's not a small meter, but i prefer it greatly to digital meters, as you can both see all possible combos at once and place your metered area up to three stops in either direction, depending on how you want that area to fall in relation to middle grey, or zone V.
