I have been a skier for 10+ years and now getting into snowbaord. Looking to invest in some gear as well. I would go on CL for board and bindings. A used beginners adult set should be around $100-$150.
I would buy new boots though. Feels weird to wear used boots unless you have no choice but rent.
If you says Sportschek is too expensive, which is around $400 I assume, forget about proper stores on W.4th or online. Brand new stuff is $$$ even online. Buy goggles, pants, jackets, gloves, helmets online. A helmet is probably most important for snowboarding, not so much for skiing.
