On average, a good quality hammock should be about USD50 and above. Beautiful handwoven textile hammocks from the Chiapas/Guatemalan Mayans are USD100 and upwards - and had been the best-looking hammocks I've seen. Prices could be lowered by bargaining, so shop around, ask many questions such as material (cotton, sisal or nylon), weave, size, how much weight it can support, and origin of the hammock. Educate yourself about fair trade policies. A good hammock will last years of enjoyment!
The best and most comprehensive hammock store in Playa del Carmen is Hamacamarte, just off of 5th Ave. (the main pedestrianized street) on Calle 38. Not much bargaining here, but the owner Maya (if you ever meet her) is lovely and passionate about hammocks. I find the prices reasonable, but I also found versions of the chair hammock for a little less in some outlying hammock shops in Playa del Carmen. It's worth exploring every little shop and asking around!

Most people find that Brazilian cotton hammock chairs are fine on their own, but there are also many accessories that you can choose to go along with them. For instance, you will find that some of these chairs have arms on them, while others actually have attached footrests. You will also find accessories that you can buy separately, such as a secure place to put your drink, to store your book, or to hold your remote control!
Nice article on south american hammocks
we are currently making hammocks especially designed for travellers of tropical destinations. Just like what you mentioned in your about site, i was looking for a livelihood for an indigenous group in my country, and thought this will be good since i am in a network of travellers. After all, it's the hammock that started my first community volunteering work (story is here http://www.limbonis.com/2013/09/aeta-outreach-project-in-sitio-banaba.html)
