For around the £25-35 area if its possible to get a good one! If not I can spend more. I seem to remember Isaac suggesting one that was easily obtained from Maplin or Farnell a while back. Something easy to use for a beginner, easy to obtain spares for (tips etc), temperature controlled, and preferably with any possible safety features that will prevent me from accidentally burning the house down should the thing be left on whilst on its cradle! :o
