Well I need one of these cameras for a class that I'm taking. I've looked at all the usual places, BB, CC, Walmart, etc. and they mostly have it for $200 and up. I don't really care what type of model it is but just that it is a cheap one because after this class I probably won't ever use it again. Thanks and all help is much appreciated.

Try going to a camera store and buying one used. I got a Nikon F3 for $250 and that thing is built like a rock. And it was the best camera about 20 years ago. I'm sure if you look for something a bit lower you can easily get something for 150.

Go to a camera store like Samy's. You can buy an old manual camera and lens for under $200. I have a refurbished Canon EOS rebel 2000 that was $180 with lens.
If you are gonna be shooting Infrared film, get an older camera or else your film will not come out right. I have used auto and manual SLR's and I would advise you to get an old manual camera. They are built to last and give you the same quality.
