A Sony TR-725 sold on eBay about a year ago for $2700+. The Sony TFM-151 is also quite expensive.

There are lot of radios that are affordable:

GE P780--AM only
GE P865--AM and FM version
GE Super Radio I
GE Super Radio III,a current model,44.99 online at Radio Shack

Zenith Transoceanic 3000
Zenith 755 AM only,great if you near a good AM music station, Cheap on Ebay, Nice $10 project. Got a minty one going now.

Channel Master Super Fringe AM only.

Most are on Ebay to view them. If you like to play with them or fix them up it can be a lot of fun. Keeping costs down is important as I dont have a large budget.

The Sony TR-55 is quite desireable... being it was their first transistor radio... and since they weren't sold in the US back then, it would make them even harder to find today. Of course, this makes them quite expensive if you find one today... IF you find one.

Here's a photo of one... with a little bit of history...
