If you do buy used, which is okay, go for the high-end name brands. They are popular for a reason: they tend to be better preformance, stronger, and more reliable than some other ones.\n\nWhatever you do do not buy used boots, it's bad for your feet. The only exception would be where the foot hadn't made an impression in the boot. You shouldn't feeling the outline of someone elses arch, heal, or toes.\n\nWhen in doubt, go for Burton. It will be more expensive but its worth it, the extra bucks will give you a sleek ride.\n\nMake sure you wax/tune it before you ride it, safety first!

Try ebay or craigslist. If that doesn't work, post it in the newspaper where you live and in the online listings, it's usually free. You'll probably get around $250 for a brand new board and bindings, but even that is asking for a lot. You need to just see what you can get for it. Then, proceed with selling it.

If you have a tight budget, maybe consider getting a setup that's not ALL burton stuff. There are other good brands, and burton bindings will fit into any board and any bindings will fit into a burton board. If you aren't willing to consider other brands then try these places:\nwww.the-house.com\nwww.overstock.com\nwww.backcountry.com\nwww.christysports.com\nwww.shorelinesnowboards.com\nwww.boardsforless.com\nwww.snowboarddepot.com\nwww.boardzone.com\nwww.nextag.com\n\nAlso try looking at ski swaps and end of the season sales (now is a good time for that :) hope you find what you're lookin for!

Vision does not make good boots. You could do a lot better than that. I would suggest going to a snowboard shop and not a big box store like Sports Authority, Big 5 or Sports Chalet. Not only do those retailers only carry discount brands (which are crap) but the sales folks I've talked to at shops like that have no idea what they are talking about. Go to a real snowboard shop and talk to someone who has actually ridden a snowboard and they will be able to help you out. Remember, a boot that fits perfectly in the shop is going to be too big. They should fit very tight in the shop. Brands I like are Burton, Northwave, Salomon, DC and Thirtytwo.

It is just as safe as buying any other used snowboard. If there are some minor scratches then you will be fine. Make sure the edges are still in good condition and the board doens't have any deep cuts. $250 is a decent price for a used snowboard. If the board is in good condition still then I would buy it for that price. I don't where where the guy who says demos should sell for 1/5 of their original price, but in my experience that's incorrect. You will usually find demos for sale between $100-300 depending on the type of board, it's condition, and where you buy it from.

I am an avid skier and outdoor enthusiastic (as you can see from my avatar). I recently found a site called www.evogear.com that sells ski, snowboard, and wakeboard gear. They have the best customer service, very low prices, and the coolest gear on the planet. I think they are based in Seattle, WA. I have never had a bad experience with them and I've placed four orders!

http://www.backcountry.com/\n\nBackcountry.com is awesome. Great selection and awesome customer service. \n\nAlso, bookmark www.steepandcheap.com. This site only sells one item at a time but it's always at an amazing price and you'd be surprised what they put up there. I check it at least once a day

Just about anything is good enough for a beginner. There's no need to spend $150-200 on a board for someone who is just beginning. Go to your local skateshop. Most will have package deals on complete boards that are pretty generic but still a good board for a beginner.
