Typically, over the last 5-8 years, the Ocean Hoppers, built, in good
condition, with case and all five coils started out at just under $100
on ebay. Most needed the electrolytics replaced. During the first
couple years, the price drifted up to around $350 as the little
receivers established their cult status and all of us on nostalgia trips
picked one up to remember the good old days of our teens. The prices
have started to drift down a bit now, but a good one can still fetch a
few bucks if the right person wants it and has a few extra dollars to
spend.

My best deal was $75. Great shape with cabinet and all five coils. The
person had not used "Ocean Hopper" in the subject line, but had listed
it as a Marine Radio. In the text, he had typo'ed the name as "Hooper"
- sometimes, you just luck out!

Here's another Ocean Hopper up for bid. Already built, but looks very
nice, and the price (so far) is a lot less:
