I assume this is an over asked question but I've been searching all night, and can't find a good quality one for sale. I'm not rich but I have more spare money than spare time so I'd rather buy a high quality pike than spend a long time trying to piece one together

Alot of that just comes down on the material you are wanting it to be made out of. They can be anything from a pool stick to machined aluminum.

I'd prefer to buy one as well, but I haven't been able to find a good one. I'm planning on making my own, though.
This how-to tutorial doesn't look too hard so if you can't find one it might be a good Plan B if you need a prequel pike. It'll take some time to get the materials but once you do it looks like you could build the thing in a day if you didn't need to wait for paint and glue to dry.

This is the same style that my pike is done in. He based it off my old design and tweeked it up.

This is the one I am going to buy next week. It is cheap and I was told it will work for accuracy.

You are not required to have a weapon for costume approval. They do tend to be large on the build compared to the regular skipole wips.
