The upshot is there are thousands of hungry tool and die shops out there so you'll get rock bottom prices. You might even be able to find a guy willing to fab you the dies on the side.

Since you have originals you're way ahead of the game but the die builder will still want prints if you have them.

I would almost recommend posting on craigslist for a guy...hell, what do you have to lose. There are also services that that will send your prints out to thousands of shops for quotes...but this seems a bit small for that. Just try walking into some smaller T&D shops with your originals, you'll get quotes.
