Sculpteo[1] and Shapeways[2] seem to be the two largest printers. According to what I have read[3], they are priced roughly in line with the costs of materials, plus some overhead.
You may just want to find a maker space somewhere near you[4] and go print it there. Plus then you get to play with their kit and meet some cool people.
Another option if you want to meet the person behind the printer is http://www.3dhubs.com. It's all about connecting people on a local level around 3D printing.
