Death2000 kind of touched on it but also once you get age verified you get access to the buy/sell portion of the forums. In essence we've basically self policed ourselves so that we're only selling to other adults and not some kid with mommy or daddys credit card or whatever (Note that you must meet in person for AV info to be taken down, no exceptions).
Sure there's always craigslist and stuff like that ad you found but we can't control that, however a lot of the times you don't really know what you're getting and usually people selling there don't know much about the product or could be actively looking to rip you off.
NB: Prices are higher in Canada due to duties/shipping/other business costs (in the order of 1.5-2.5X cost from overseas) but if you're paying $400 for something that's only worth $100.... then yeah....
PS: Good luck, and if you do scenario or milsim paintball then you should kind of be about half way there with gear and stuff. You just need a few pieces of airsoft oriented equipment and you'll be good to go for joining in. Also, please don't play in the woods like you're doing right now..... It's luck that you didn't get caught yet but luck always runs out and sometime you're going to get caught. Like that time I was going to get a bit intimate with my ex in a common area in the apartment but her roommates came back to the apartment early..... I was like ಠ_ಠ cockblocked.....
