I'm still trying to learn all the skills and what not so I'm not comfortable enough with my skills yet. I usually have a hard time paying full price for a figure and then turning around and painting, and messing with it.
So what is a good place/website/elsewhere to get cheap figures to practice?
Check the Trade Forum here. That's the best place to find deals. Especially my trade thread. You can also check the Figure Realm store to see what Cap Coder is blowing out. Along that line of thinking; look for stuff being clearanced at Wal Mart, Kmart and TRU. Also Dollar Store and Big Lots you can find some Mattel stuff cheap.
