I've seen some advertised on Ebay for under $200.
I don't know anything about them but I noticed that Harbor Freight is now selling a small one for $190:

Check with a jewelry supply house. Jewelers routinely roll silver and gold with hand rolls. If you find you are serious and need something powered, there's a very nice set of powered rolls that used to be available from Italy. Good supply houses should be able to help you in pretty much any price range.

Check out Rio Grande's online catalog
OTOH if you're feeling wreckish, you could just make one yourself. Not hard if you've got the tools.

You might check your local highschool and see if they have one. Then trade some time helping in their art class in return for being able to use their gear.
I know the local high school here has a rolling mill. I smoothed out the rollers after some idiot kid ran a coat hanger wire thru it .

I found a couple of used ones here, no pricing though.
