Some can be found at very reasonable prices while others (the top of the line brands) can run more in price. The amount that you spend is, of course, up to you and your budget.

These are 40 mm in diameter and using them will get you and the other players into the habit of playing with the correct balls should you ever wish to enter a tournament.

When you buy a table it will almost always come with a net, but you may need to replace your net once in a while. Doing a search for table tennis equipment will reveal many outlets that carry nets and the other items that you will need.
