Cuz I was looking at Vapour XXXX but it's so expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. Whats a good cheap place or site to go looking for sticks? Hockey Monkey, Hockey Giant, ???
In your budget I would consider looking for a used high end shaft and pairing it up with a decent blade. My general rule is don't buy a cheap composite, it will feel like crap and you will regret it. If you can up your budget a bit you can afford a pro return but those don't come with a warranty so you're SOL if it breaks in 30 days.

You also mentioned you're a beginner, have you found a curve that you liked yet? It's better to buy a good wood stick (Sherwood 5030 for $30) instead of a mediocre price point composite ($30-$100) if you're just starting out.
