there are a few places in the lower mainland that specializes in consignment gear.
Depending on where you live, you can definitely make a day out of it.
For hard goods, such as snowboard/bindings/boots, go check out the following places:

There, you can discuss your needs with the associates. And majority of the time you'll be able to find a knowledgeable person that can assist you in the your specific needs. At those places as well, they will at times, carry new and consignment outerwear as well. So you can essentially get completely outfitted in gear that caters to your budget.
ON the other hand, if you know exactly what it is you're after, you can bargain hunt on craigslist and ebay. however be forwarned with craigslist, as it's buyer beware. The trials and tribulations of buying anything privately.
if you want, check out sportmart/sportcheck as well. They generally have pretty good deals on beginner to intermediate equipment and can also package you out a moderatly priced set up.
Hope any of this helps
