Answers:
Life jackets are the last thing you want to skimp on. Your probably only going to use them once in your life, but that once just might save your life.
Dude, get a life.
jacket.
Seriously, try Lidl. My sister just bought wet suits and loads of other stuff from them a ridiculously cheap prices.
Try your local yacht club or Yacht Monthly.
whitby is always having sales in second hand shops selling off old gear from ships.

Hope this helps.
The life jackets here are resonably priced.
You should not skimp on life jackets,man, your life depends on t
hem,you don't know their history if they are secondhand !!
If you can't afford new ones,save up or don't go.
look in boating publications.please make sure they have kite mark or guarantee of amount of buoyancy/B.O.T.approval .There are many so called "buoyancy aids" best avoided.these are NOT life jackets.
Any ships chandler, or sports shop should have them, would NEVER think about a cheap one, they are LIFE JACKETS and you are trusting them to save your life, so buy the best quality you can afford. No good saying as you drown, wish I'd spent that bit extra and got a decent one.

Mustang survival Not cheap but, the best !

They are life vests, your survival depend on it, always put a strobe light, signal mirror, Light stick, and a good sharp stainless steel 6" blunt tipped knife in a sheath, and a whistle on your vest as well (basic survival equipt), always buy a good one, if you have an emergency, you're gonna go through emergency equipment fast, alway's have "Back up" I do, I'm in the U.S. Coast Guard (aux.), I've been in the water, it's scarey ! I only use "Mustang Survival" equipment, IT'S THE BEST ! People ask me how can you afford to buy that ? my response is always the same, HOW CAN I AFFORD NOT TO ! pick bright colors too, like Yellow or Orange, this makes spotting you in the water much easier.
Call the local Goodwill and Salvation ARny stores in boating areas. Then try the used boat dealers. Many times when they buy or take a boat in trade, it comes with all the extra gear, and they'll sell it independently of the vessel..
MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT BEFORE BOATING--- I bought a cheap life jacket at Wal Mart & tryed in a creek w/ chest high water & it wouldn't hold me up. I',m glad I found out before using it on a boat!!
Yikes-I would not buy cheap or used-go to any good boating store or an outdoor retail store and invest in some good quality, well made life jackets that will last a long time-when you wear them your life depends on them-heheh-they is why they are called LIFE jackets-good luck and be safe!
West marinr has them for $6.99. Garage sales often have them for $1. Be sure to check for quality. Remember the new law regarding childrens life jackets for children under 50 pounds, they must have a crotch strap, head rest, and handle to pull them from the water.
I have 4 ex RNLI ministry ones if you want them very very cheap
Life jackets are the most integral part of any maritime recreation or activity. "Buy cheap buy twice" the old saying goes, not in this case the second hand life jacket has only to let you down once and you will have no chance to buy a second time. Do not save money by risking you life your worth more than a couple of quid
Dude, just get a cheap NEW, US COAST GUARD APPROVED life jacket. Forget the used cheap thing. If you want a cheap one go to Wal-Mart or Meijer. Don't rely on used ones. And anyways, why would somebody wanna give away their life jacket just to make 5 bucks. They're smart, so they buy a new one and discard the old one. That's why you dont see them online, if you don't believe me, go look in dumpsters, or go to a garage sale.
Think of the name..Lifejackets..Designed for that sole purpose..DOn't try to save a buck here please!
