For second hand gear, contact various dive stores which have rental gear and find out when they sell their old gear. You can purchase used rental gear for great prices.
For new gear, most dive stores will offer a discount based on the volume you are purchasing.

I have gotten most of my equipment off of Ebay. I read alot of posts here and other websites, decided what I wanted then watch for a good deal. Never bidding more than what I was willing to pay for an item. If I didn't win I would keep looking for the item. Also doing seaches for specials on the web works, I have picked up items all the way from northern Florida. I have gotten regs, tanks, compressor, wings,drysuits and many other used things and have had no problems with them.
CHEAP? Are you kidding? SCUBA gear can determine you survival. Careful; what you pay is what you get. Instead of looking for “cheap” prices; determine what you want and then look for best price…but again, be careful of “used gear.”

If money were an issue, I'd have no problem with buying used gears from shops.
Most of these shops would service their regulators before selling off for cheap. I got a Titan LX reg with octo for $200 at Eco Dive Center. They told me the reg was refurbished. I had another shop eyeballed it just to make sure and the reg was refurbished as claimed.
I don't know about used BCs though because the cumberbund velcro is usually worn all to heck.
Most wetsuits tended to be OK to ragged out.
But you never know about finding a good deal until you sort through the bundle.

Of course, there are dive shops that think their ragged out equipement is somehow 80-90% the price of brand new gears.
