It depends on who you're buying it from. Pet Stores sell dogs for ridiculously high prices... and the dogs usually aren't healthy. Buying pets dogs from a pet store is a bad idea.
I would check around with a variety of breeders and look in to finding a regional club and attending their events. Also, you may want to subscrible to the Papillon listserv... and post questions there. Here's a link: http://www.papillon-l.com/
This link should also give you lots of good info:

Depends on why you want to buy it...for pet, show, obedience, etc.
most reputatble breeders these days charge a minimum of $500 for a pet regardless of the dogs pedigree. several thousand could be asked of a dog that is meant to be shown in confirmation and has an outstanding pedigree of mostly wellknown champions.

Thats too broad of a question, you should research and see what kind of dog you want, id def. recommend not getting it from a pet store though, you need to decide if you want a purebred from a breeder, or if you just want a mutt. SPCA is always a good place to start. Hope that helps

purebreds are expensive and can have health problems. mutts from shelters are cheaper and you are usually saving their lives- you may also be able to get an abandoned or lost purebred from a shelter or a rescue group. it isn't just the cost of adoption though, there's food, vet bills, collars, leashes, and grooming too. but it is sooo worth it :D

Papillion are usually pretty expensive. I would do my research before PURCHASING a dog. If you think you can afford to take care of a dog why not try adopting one from an animal shelter?

It depends on the breed and where you buy it. If you are worried about cost, hit your local shelter.

It all depends upon the breed, pedigree and also on physical appeareance of the dog.

the price of a dog or any animal can range because of breed dependability and other things
