I paid US$450 for mine including freight (which took 1 week exactly from the Ukraine to Australia! 
). It worked out about a third of what a Canon TSE lens would cost me.
I've had my eye on them for a while but it's been hard to justify money for a lens like this that might not get used very often. Unfortunately it seems the prices have gone up a bit over the last 6-12 months too.
If you look at places such as Araxfoto (http://www.araxfoto.com/specials/tilt-shift-35) then availability seems to vary - but there are usually a few on eBay somewhere.
If you are just looking for a way to experiment with lens movements and have some fun then a lensbaby might be a cheaper alternative to allow you to take tilt photos (http://www.lensbabies.com). They vary from US$96 through to US$270 for the 3G.
