I don't have or game any of my old putters, so the cheapest one I own now is probably $60, it's a Nickent and I only got to use it once last year so, no, I don't game it. My primary gamers are my Scotty Newport 2.0 and my Odyssey Black. My Bettinardi BC1 is my alternate should the other two misbehave.

Made a Maltby PET (Pure Energy Transfer) putter years ago. Ping Anser-like with an aluminum insert. Damn fine putter actually that didn't cost much. It keeps getting kicked out of the bag but that may be my ego related to playing an off-brand more than the putter.

No. My cheapest is a Top Flight putter and it is horrible. My gamer is a SC Newport 2 and it's fantastic.

I putted extremely well for 2 years with a oddessy df 990 that I bought from a bargain barrel for $1. I then discovered online golf fourms and my puttter addiction peaked at a $2000 Cameron Tour Notchback Proto which was replaced by a $35 rife that I am using now and averagen 4 putts a round less than with the cameron. just goes to show price means nothing.

I have a John Byron Mini Dalehead that I bought for around $80 or $90 which I gamed for about a year.  Since then I've found something I like a little better, but I would still go back to that one without hesitation, it made tons of putts.

Mine is! Never Compromise Exchange #6, which was $60 new when I got it.  Spending a little more on it now getting it refinshed, I wasn't a big fan of the color scheme but it feels good and can be weighted to 360

No. My cheapest putter is a Workshop IV that was refinished by David Mills. He tweaked the neck and added his stamp. I had one in high school. I can't bring myself to game it after it's already been refinished.

I have an old TaylorMade TPA XVIII that I paid $17 for in a pawn shop about 15 years ago.  Still finds its way into my bag on occasion.

No.  My original Bullseye and two Ansers from the same time period are my cheap putters but don't remember what I paid for them back then.  But haven't used any of them since the 90's.   I game a Cameron Studio Design and my fall back is a Bulls Eye SC Standard Flange, probably $70.  So no cheap putters in play at this point.

I picked up a Wilson 8813 with original satin shaft for $9

I putted with it for quite a while - very solid feel.  Great distance control.  I probably put as well with that one as I have with any, but I still game the Scotty Newport TeI3 with custom Tungsten sole weights because I count on it when I really have to grind on a putt.  It's probably more psychological.

For less than ten dollars though, that is a terrific putter.

Proline blade style that I got with my first ever set of clubs. Wouldn't know what its worth, but don't think it would even sell on the bay (the postage would be 10 times more than the club). Needs a new grip, but wouldn't ever get rid of it.

A T.P. Mills TPM 1 that I got for $30 (threw an $18 IOmic on itPosted Image), and a $70 Cleveland Classic Black 5.5 are the only putters in my rotation now.

I've gone through far too many others.

Most expensive? Scotty Cameron Milspec. First Cameron I ever bought. Paid $60 for it in beat to hell condition. Gamed it for 3 years. Finally sent it to Kevin Colbert and had it black ox'd and cleaned up. All In, I have about $160 in it? Right now my $37 after trade in brand new Cleveland Classic Black Platinum is in the bag, but the Milspec is just waiting for the Cleveland to give it an opening. I suspect the Milspec will be back in the bag before the season gets too deep, I just like to tinker.
