Where would be the best place to get decently priced quality sayas.

I have a Shun Pro Yanagi and Shun Classic Asian Chef's Knife I'm looking to get sayas for.

I spoke to yoshihiro(echefknife.com) and they said they're able to modify their yanagi saya to fit my Shun Pro. They sell the 240mm lacquered saya for yanagi for just $30.

They also have a 7" saya for chef's knife, but not sure if it will fit my Shun Classic.

I can get both for $55. Is this pretty much the cheapest one can get sayas for, let alone a lacquered one?
 
From what I can tell, $25-$30 is just about the cheapest you can get a decent wooden saya for. A fully custom saya would probably run $75-$100 or more.

You could also consider making your own, relatively easy using laminated construction. Google it and you'll find plenty of info.
