Question : MySQL php Select rows similar price

Hi,

Just a quick question I hope, I have a value 'price' from a row in my db. What I need to do is select three more random rows from the same table that have prices similar to the value I already have.

The problem I have is I cant think of an easy way to do this and I am sure there must be one.

Any help would really be appreciated

Thank you
