Does anybody know where I can find a Sharon Tate autograph or know anyone that is willing to sell? Because they are pretty rare, what would I expect to pay for one?

One just recently sold at RR Auctions. Here is the results of their past auction prices on Sharon which you can use as a guide to possible value.

Thanks Joe! I think I’ve seen this, just can’t seem to find that many for sale at the moment, there’s only one photograph on eBay listed for $8000+
There's not many around being sold. EBay is probably the worst place to buy an authentic one.
A point well taken about eBay, Joe. She especially is one of those names that would seem to be heavily forged.
There is one at HD:
If you go for it be sure to use the make an offer feature.
Good luck,
Eric :)
Gabriel - If we are looking at the same one, that $8k piece on eBay does have a letter of authenticity from PSA which gives it credibility. Looking at the RR link Joe provided, their Tate sales have been all over the board from $3k up to $10k (inclusive of the 25% Buyer's Premium).
I would never consider such a piece or recommened - It fails on all my 4 personal criterion: Condition, Contrast, Quality and Eye Appeal. There is such a thing as "authentic but a very poor example."
Gabriel - I personally like this JSA/ACOA authenticated example you've posted. In vintage material that is rare like this, there are usually always trade offs. The ink looks right as far as I can see based on the image. Ballpoint is a very telling ink source. It also has context which I feel is extremely important. It's not a simplistic signing.
What do you personally think of it? That's what's most important if you are considering it.
As far as 3-5k, that would be a personal decision. Based on the RR results Joe linked, that seems it may be a bit excessive. Still, it's passed two well regarded sources.
I disagree. It can never be A material and there is nothing I see that mitigates the problems. Condition is poor, conrast is poor, there is no eye appeal and there is a general lack of any other qualities. That age tone is near fatal with everything else going on. Of course, rarity creates wiggle room in some areas, but not all and not all at once - not for me Perhaps I am missing something but what context does "John, your'e a sweetie" give it?
I think what Etienne meant was that there is a story behind the autograph -because it was originally signed to “John” who was the original artist for the storyboard art he created dedicated to the 1968 film “The Wrecking Crew” starring Sharon, in a way it’s a intimate auto where the signer recognized the art.
