Why not give it another chance? First of all I bet you were cooking
your egg at too high a heat, so turn it down and make sure the pan is
hot when you put the egg in it. Also, if you don't want to use oil,
try unflavored cooking spray. If you don't want to use cooking spray,
try a tiny amount of water.

If you're determined to get a new pan anyway and you're located in the
US, go to Safeway. They have heavy bottomed nonstick pans with a nice
interior finish for a very low price and they were on sale the last
couple of weeks. Their 8-inch pan was on sale $10, so it's worth a
look. The three pieces (small, medium and large) cost about $40 all
together.
