how do you start a maple tree? do you literally have to buy a 200-1000$ tree and cut the top off?

Uh... No?

It depends on what you are wanting to start and how much time you have! You can start them from seed if you wish and get relatively cool shohin/ mame sized tree pretty soon... If you want a big one, you can start with a young tree/ seedlings/ seed and just plant it in the ground for 5-10 years... But to get one the fastest, you do need to start with good material which is true of every tree every time.

You can always buy one that needs finished and shaped and have it shipped.
