Microphones for $50 or less?

When I started I got the Samson C01U off ebay for around 60, but it had a pop filter and headphones with it so I imagine if alone it's cheaper. Amazing quality.
 
Not sure if it was mentioned, but you can always look for second hand mics. I picked up a few off of craigslist after watching for a while.
 
I bought a Samson Go Mic for £31, which would be about $47. I think it's great compared to what I had before and see it lasting me a while.
 
Surprised no one has mentioned this microphone, as it is highly rated for its value - just a tiny bit above your budget, but you get great quality for the price from all the reviews I've read - plus, AudioTechnica is a very well-respected brand:

It's called the Audio-Technica AT2005USB Cardioid Dynamic Micrphone - check it out on Amazon! The USB input, alongside traditional XLR, makes it great for vlogs/gaming.
 
Looks like the Blue Snowball would fit you perfectly. Don't get the ICE, just the older version. Grab a pop filter while you're at it so when you're freaking out it doesn't destroy audio :)
 
I agree with everyone saying the Snowball Mic:) it's great! So good for the price, I upgraded to a Yeti and it is basically the same quality! Snowball is the way to go!
