Recently acquired A 40's Oahu squareneck for about $225. Pretty darn good slider, and often available.
Budget off shore Weissenborns in the $4-500 range (Goldtone, Twisted Wood et al) will usually be all laminated or maybe solid top. I started out being patient and fell into a couple used axes (Lazy River and Celtic Cross), then I horse traded over a couple years till I got the ones I liked.
Some 50/60's Harmony guitars make good sliders. They often have no truss rods - meaning by now their action is high. The H165 is solid hog and killer under a slide. Good luck. It's addictive!
