I used to collect them. I had about 30 of them. I would pick them at thrift stores and garage sales. I don't think I ever paid more than $5.

For a long time they were pretty much useless because you couldn't buy film. When someone started making film again they became a hot fad and I sold every one I had on eBay for an average of $125.

I also had over 100 flashbars that I sold for $10 each.

it looks like Polaroid sells film for it online now, but it isn't commonly distributed at most stores

Remember the Kodak Handle, a Polaroid clone? Kodak lost a patent infringement suit and had to refund the sales price of the camera and accessories made for it. A buddy of mine made some good cash buying them from yard sales and returning them. Too bad the sellers didn't know!
