Thrift stores are a good place, also you can get really good prices at Wawak Sewing(www.wawak.com), they have excellent prices and great customer service/shipping.

You keep the top part with the zipper pull---I don't know of any way to reuse the excess length you cut off as there is no zipper pull nor the metal ends that stop the zipper pull so I have just trashed the ends cut off.
