I am going to strongly recommend you take a look at Ebay and Craigslist. We've found TONS of equipment at very reasonable prices. DH got a nice set of scratch pants, trial jacket, 2 dumbbells, a whip, 2 jute tugs, and a bag of GSD patches and decals for about $200 off craigslist from someone getting out of SchH. We've gotten fursavers and prongs for $5. Got a nice leather regulation tracking line for $7.
Also, second the recommendation to look at feed stores. We have a number of cotton long lines (lunge lines for horses) that we bought at Tractor Supply for $15.
Also, if you've got any Amish or Mennonite communities around they usually have a leather goods store around. We've gotten some really excellent agitation collars, harnesses, and leashes from a community by my MIL in Tennessee.
