>I've seen them at $20

Have another look, its more like 50 nowadays, thanks to the new ones having proprietary paper with chip.

damn you may be right (maybe something between 20 and 50 at least)

does second hand count? gumtree m/craigslist/facebook marketplace/ etc etc

I got a second-hand one for a bargain £30 with so much paper that I will be hard-pushed to use it all in my lifetime. The power supply burnt out after a year or so, so that will be another £10 or so, but I don't regret that purchase by any stretch. I've used it to print out the headlines from RSS feeds, like my own personal Telex ticker-tape machine!
