Alright, I'm thinking of breaking down and buying a fastskin suit.
So what is the most economical way to purchase one? Ebay? Some discount online store? Any ideas?

Regarding the zipper scrapes...if it's a concern, put some bodyglide around the edges of the suit and down the zipper stripe before you use it. Even without it, there shouldn't be a problem for shorter races. If you're swimming a mile or more, I recommend the bodyglide though. We've had some nice battle wounds on our team from people using the suits for the hour swim without any bodyglide.
