Where can I find cheap cat scratching posts?

Where can I find cheap cat scratching posts/trees, something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAT-SCRATCHING-POST-ACTIVITY-CENTRE-PET-FURNITURE-NEW-/260639914124?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Cats&var=&hash=item826338ebdd

Thanks :-)
Also, it must be able to be delivered to the U.K.

well i have 2 cats and we didn’t want to buy a scratching post so we made one and all you need is some glue some rope a round post 2 boxes some sand and a pillow (we used a tree log) first we covered the post in glue and rapped the rope around it until the whole post is covered in rope next we let it dry so the rope is stuck on and then we got a box and put sand in it, sellotaped the top and then made a hole for the post to go in put the post in and then got some duck tape so the sand wouldn’t come out and as a finishing touch we put a box with a pillow inside on the log (you have to glue the box on first) so the cat can have a comfy sitting place too.

This is what i did so it works hope it helps :)

    Try your local Gumtree or look in your local newspapers classifieds. Even try free cycle. I would personally ask on facebook to see if any friends have one spare.

    If you want a new one thin i guess ebay is about the cheapest your going to get! or argos.. you could try local pet shops but some can be over priced! pets at home is expensive so don’t go there! you could make your own, all you would need is some scratching rope (you can buy on ebay for like £2) and some cheap wood!!
