eBay sometimes carry things :D Maybe order from Cosplay.com or if you really willing to spend money and don't need it for a while, katiebair.com could even style it~ Those are about the only places I would know of. Depending where you live, look for wig/costume shops too.

I've been to all those sites. Tir prices never really like me. ::needs a job:: If I don't get a book published soon, I might have to start lining up for government cheese. Tee hee. But seriously, I like buying cheap $12 wigs and doing all the styling myself. If you know a place with a good selection, please help. High desert only sells wigs around Halloween.

Best place to go for wigs is www.cosplaysupplies.com It's in canadian prices, so it's EXTRA cheap for all you americans. Not to mention, their shipping is extremely fast and they've got a wonderful selection.

O.o, nice searching for a wig at that price that's of excellent quality.

I know that you can buy an excellent wig for $40 at Amphigory and then add in extensions.

Cheap wigs tend to be kinda fizzy and tinsel like, not to mention too short as a rule. The only good way of getting a floor length wig is to make or commission one. I have yet to see a wig of good quality from whole sale that was longer than 48" from front to tip.

I would say if you are looking for a less expensive alternative, go for the shorter (48") higer quality one. If for no other reason, cheap wigs tangle more easily, so poor quality and long length would make for an awful mess, it would save tears if nothing else!
