tailors dummy?

I am a recent textile graduate and I really really want to get a stockman / k&l tailors dummy- in a size 8, it doesn't matter how old it is, or what state the fabric is in (as I can cover the fabric). Trouble is these things cost like £500 and I am broke- really. I work for £5.05 an hour (and I am over 18.! (Iam 25).) The reason I realy want a fixed tailors dummy is that in the past I have owned 2 adjustable tailors dummies but I found them difficult to work with as the dress-makers pins need to go in at an angle, and they have gaps where the segments dont meet smoothly. Plus the reason I dont have them anymore is because they snapped when fell- so flimsy. I have given up on ebay as the good tailors dummies seem to get to about one hundred pounds, and I dont have this kind of money. The cheaper ones are made out of polystyrene and have unnatural figures- (shop fittings with VERY pert boobs, beyonce bum.) I live in London and am willing to travel anywhere in the uk
