I was lucky enough to have a good friend that decided she would take a stab at making two suits -- one for her and one for me. They turned out awesome. My point here is that a lot of people make their own suits and find out that they have more talent than they would think at something like that. Even with good fur, you would only have about $400 in materials, so that is the best way to go if you are willing to try.
Otherwise the places mentioned above get up to $2000 pretty quickly, and have several months wait time usually.
I also just want to mention this -- I've seen a lot of furries who think they can shop from the gallery on a fursuit maker's website and pick one and go with it...however, it doesn't work that way. A fursuit maker will never duplicate someone else's suit. They expect you to send them good concept art (which can cost another $75 - $100), and then they build a suit based on that.
Anyway, those are my pointers for anyone considering getting a suit -- it is TONS of fun
