Related to this: Mirrors are NOT CHEAP. I've looked at the glassless mirrors that have an ad here and via google, but it looks like $200 is about the lowest for something like 6'x4'. anyone have ideas where to get deals on mirrors?

Habitat for Humanity resale stores?
Wonder if Tile Outlet or similar sells mirrors.

Lumberyard or whoever sells glass near you. Many have regular glass mirror as a bulk product just like window glass. They can sell you all the hardware to hang it, and teach you how to carry it safely too. The trick is getting it home; you can't just toss it on the roof rack. Some stores will deliver, or you can have the width cut to sit flat between the wheelwell humps of whatever truck you can get your hands on.

Also, ask around with remodeling contractors; they may either keep mirrors they've pulled from clients or know who salvages such things locally. The ones that do clothing stores especially may know where you can get some large frameless mirrors with minor scuffs or chips cheap.
 
i bought them unframed and build a frame out of 2x4s. Much less tha 200. You can also fasten them to the wall with cheap mirror clips.
