Depends how fast you want to go.
Check out some of these fancier ones at Amazon to get an idea of what's out there.

Here is a cheap one at ebay that might be good to start with.

"Make sure you’ve got a good rope. Beaded or plastic “speed” ropes are more durable than cotton ones and whip around faster, making for a more intense workout. They’re also mandatory if you want to build up to doing advanced jump-rope moves like the double jump (which we’ve included here, although we don’t expect you to master it right away). Before you begin using a rope, measure it to your height. When you stand on the middle of the rope, the handles should extend to your armpits. Cut and adjust the length as necessary. You have to gradually prepare your lower body for the impact of jumping, so begin on a waxed wooden floor or rubber floor. Hold the rope with hands at about hip height and elbows slightly bent, keeping your upper arms close to your sides. Your chest should be out and your shoulders back and down. Make your jumps small and land on the balls of your feet."

check nearest aldi, they had on sale couple of weeks ago. Can confirm good quality
All overpriced. All you need is a piece of rope from $2 shop and you're golden.
