You can use flaxseed oil for external application but Dr.Budwig developed Eldi Oils and used them because they are better for the purpose, i.e. they are more effective. Why would you call it "quacky"? Dr.Budwig knew exactly what she was doing.
The cost of Eldi Oils is actually not that high - it is bumped up because of the high cost of shipping. The $100 figure you are quoting includes shipping and is for 2 bottles.
Grape seed and sesame oils are NO substitute for Eldi Oils. They have a completely different make-up and will not give you the same results. Since they are high in omega-6 they may even be counter productive to the healing process.

Subject: [FlaxSeedOil2] Eldi Oils versus other Omega 3
I wonder why you can't just put flaxseed oil on
your body? I know that is not how she did her
study but frankly this seems a little quacky I
think. If idea is to get omega 3's through the
skin, why these particular oils you need to buy
from Germany for $100.00?? Sounds ridiculous.
There are so many grape seed oil if very thin and
absorbent, I think sesame oil also, etc etc.
