Hey, I hear ya, It may seem like some sellers don't want to be bothered, but that's not the case for the majority.
Your biggest decision is going to be "what kind" of drysuit to get, luckily there's been a lot of discussion on just that topic here on the board.
See: http://www.scubaboard.com/t7462/s.html
That one discusses "shell vs neoprene".
There are a few other good threads discussing hoods, pockets, gloves, etc.
Also take a peek at a gear review done at Rodale's on "drysuits under $1000".

A neoprene suit will keep you toastier, for less $$, and the sometimes annoying buoyancy change from suit compression at depth is actually LESS than with a farmer john, so don't be too quick to rule them out.
