Your best bet is to get a regular oldie (10spd/12spd) and convert it yourself to SS/Fixie. Will run you anywhere from $30 - $60 depending on how you do it and what you use.

Good luck
I've only ever done one conversion so maybe I just don't have the experience to know where to get parts, but this seems low. You could probably run a single speed for this price, but to keep a fixed gear cost this low you will have to run a suicide hub, which I personally wouldn't do. I recommend a cheap set of track wheels with a reverse thread for a lock ring. This will probably run 80-120 for a cheap set with a cog and lock ring.
