I prefer paying nothing or next to nothing.. but yeah, if you're really into diggin, sky's the limits. My first collection (close to 4000 pieces), over half I snaked out of shops and libraries when I was a grimy lil teen-ager in the 80's and 90's. Ever since I lost that collection in'96, I just chill patiently buying what little I can, and waiting for people to just give me records. The highest I've paid for one album is about $165, a "Japanese only pressing" of Masaru Imada Trio+ Three's "Green Catapillar". I got jacked really bad... it was an ebay auction. When the record arrived, turned out it was 180 gram re-issue and not an original pressing. I could've ordered the same damn record for $35 + shipping off a website.

i get most of my records for free but when i'm diggin' i'm usually paying $1-3 bucks. for the rare stuff i'll pay up to $20. that's just me tho.

i just always try to get them for free. there's always people throwing 'em out or have 'em stored in their basement and what not...ask around.
best way to build your collection.
