Where can lathe tools be bought cheap?

Or do anyone here have any for sale or trade?

I only use 3 tools and mostly only 1 ... Gouge ,, just to take the corners off, then your done with that .. A Skew to do most the shaping .. and a parting tool .. I use that to mark end of the plug or when copying another plug .. measure plug point diameters and copy points with a parting tool ... connect the dots at the end .. You can make a parting tool out of a big old flat screwdriver and a bench grinder. So you really only have to buy 2 tools ... gouge ,, skew ... and some I know skip the gouge ..

Tagger, Harbor Freight has a set of 8. They dull kinda quick, but can get you through for awhile.
