Do I have a bad o2 sensor?

Well, I just got my car back today, and hooked up my Datalogger for the first time.. While the car was idling I noticed the o2 voltage jumping around from .03, .06, .96, .78, .09, .92, .68 ect... I was wondering if this is normal, or if this is a sign of a bad o2 sensor? Ifso, how much do o2 sensors normally cost and are they attainable at any autoparts store, or only dealership? -- thanks in advance!
 
To add to the question and not the answer... Will a bad 02 sensor cause an untuned car with a properly hooked up air/fuel gauge to read extremely lean on startup and read so lean the red lights won't even light up? I think it is my upstream 02 sensor. I'm just wondering because my car gets inspected this month and this will probably cause it to fail emissions.
