There are tons of shops which sell Cuckoo Clocks in all sizes and shapes. Also in all kinds of price categories! You can buy an imported cuckoo clock from Taiwan starting at a few Euros. But if you  want a 100% authentic Cuckoo Clock you will need to put more money onto the table. They start at about 100 Euros and can go up into the thousands.
