I have looked around and most places only sell them for women, so the question I have is, are mens corsets and womens corsets both useable for men? Do men need to have specially made and designed corsets?
Yes you need a special corset. Male shapes are very different than female shapes, and you will not have a comfortable fit on a female corset. That said, you don't have to have them specially made, seeing that there are various corsetieres who have ready made corsets for men.

And where can I find some at reasonable prices for someone who makes close to minimum wage? Now Im not interested if they are not functional, I want corsets that actually restrict the form and all the normal stuff real boned corsets do, I want low cost but I don't want to sacrifice function too much.
You cannot find a functions sturdy restrictive lacing corset for a budget price. They just don't exist, because they're not possible to make, because of how much labor goes into making a decent corset.
Anything you can find at budget pricing won't work well for day to day restrictive lacing wear. Expect to spend at least $350 on a tight lacing corset if you find sales, but more realistic is probably around $500-$600.
That being said, there are a number of corsetieres who do ready-to-wear functional corsets at reasonable prices. Non of these will get the tight lacing results of a proper corset, but for what you're looking for, and your budget, I think you'll find them more than acceptable.
