Mazzer Mini. You are looking at about $550 to $670, shop around, don't forget ebay.

The Mazzer Jolly is it's big brother, but it probably won't fit under your kitchen cabinets. Conical burr grinders are the ultimate but at 3X the price.

One of the all-time greats (there is none better) but probably out of proportion to the original request - "Looking for decent Burr grinder that wont break the bank. New to the Mokapot scene... Read where a Burr is recommended over my old whirlybird."

Further to ebay I am very suspect of used grinders in general and particularly those sold by anyone except a reputable refurbing agent; I have heard about a lot of unhappy people who got skinned on shot "used" grinders. Not to say great deals don't happen but my longish view says your odds are about the same as buyiung a used pipe off ebay from anyone except a 1st class estate pipe dealer.

Just pick up a Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Mill $199.99 plus shipping. It is great best grinder I have had so far.
