Keep an eye on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, sites similar to those. You may find a used one. This one isn't mine and haven't seen it in person, but an example of a used one for sale:

I've never owned one, so don't know what to look out for on a used one, guess you'd want to be certain the tensioner bolt is not "maxed out", so as the leather breaks in, you can still add tension as needed.
