Looking to purchase some next level tools. Like a few dimple dies to get me started. Perhaps a set. Where is a good place to look?
Uh, GOOGLE them? You'll get manufacturers and dealers, check those in your area or who do on-line sales?
Ok that doesn't help. A few US companies sell them for like $1000. Looking for a cheaper option.
OK, depending on the specific type you're looking at, you may find a trade journal/magazine in your area that has a classified section - if so, keep a lookout there and even try a 'wanted' ad'.
Should have asked, which type are you looking for, press formed, through bolt mandrel or hydraulic? Sizes?
Keep an eye on auctions, especially trade, in your area as sometimes companies close and auction off their stock, or go into liquidation.
Check out the trade sites on the interweb.
If you have access to a lathe, consider making your own.
If you're looking at just one, or two, sizes then start with them and add as required.
If you're going to use them infrequently, consider the cheaper 'Chinese' made stuff.
