If your capable, its not real hard work, you can rent a sander for $150 for the week. Sanding pads run about $50-$75 bucks for a pack of 20. You'll need 2-3 different grit. Stain is about $40 a gallon. Youd probably be closer to $400-$500 if you did it yourself by the time you got all of your supplies

I just did about 1000 sq ft and it didnt cost anywhere $400-$500. Why would you need to rent a sander for a wk? That's a 1/2 day to 1 day job at most. It's a about $70 for a full day rental for a drum sander and about another $40 for sanding drums (36 grit, 60 grit, 120 grit) Stain is <$30 gal. Polyurethane is $30-$40 gallon (will need 2) plus brushes. All in all, you're looking at about $250 max.
