Sleeves have more surface area than you think. My half sleeve took ~20 hrs - it's pretty detailed, but generally custom work will take longer than you think. Unless you're getting something stock, or something very simple, I don't think it will take less than 10 hrs.
$150 seems pretty steep, but if you're spending ~$1000 the artist will probably knock the rate down a bit (the difference should go towards the tip anyway).
Also keep in mind that no artist is going to be excited about working around your small budget - save your money until you have enough to do it right.
