Sinclair ZX-81 (print ads in USA)
The Sinclair machines were among the cheapest (especially in the USA), the second machine, the ZX-81, was a great leap forward from the ZX-80.
Therefore, the price also increased, but it could be purchased optionally in a set at a price of $99.95. In 1981-82, this price was quite 'ridiculously low' - just for comparison: Atari 400 16Kb was $329, Atari 800 was $699, but even the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, which had been devalued due to the market crash, was $379.
ZX-81 was not successful in the USA, but it managed to sell 1.5 million units in the UK and EU (mainly due to its price).
