It's not the end of the world if you don't have one. I know my dd didn't like hers and my friend's baby didn't like his either. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I think Best Chairs has a few that are in the $300 range, but they will be more with the ottoman. However, I bought the rocker/recliner, so decided not to get the ottoman, and its fine.
Mine came from BRU and was pretty cheap, under $200.
I don't plan to spend that much time in it. We're keeping the baby in a bassinet in our room until he's a bit bigger. I also have a twin bed in his nursery that I'll probably stretch out on in the middle of the night. Otherwise, we've got oversized PB chairs in the living room that are super comfy.
Anyway, if you're going to be using the glider a lot, maybe check out Craigslist and try to find a nice one for cheap, otherwise just get something cheap to park it on if you're just going to use it every now and then.
Re: I still don't have a glider/rocker - UGH

You have to get pricing at a local store though.
