Don't buy from vendors
Once you've made it to Haven, you should avoid buying anything from a vendor that you could instead buy from a player. That's because it's much much cheaper to craft something than to buy it outright. Even if you can't craft an item yourself, you should be able to find someone else (using /trade) that can. Then it's just a matter of working out price.
If you go to the wiki (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Crafting) you can see a comparison of crafting cost vs vendor cost. For example, a 1* item costs 3k from a vendor, but only materials+200+10e to craft. That's easily half the vendor price, or less. If you shop around in /trade, you should be able to find most 1* items for 1k and 2* items for 3k.
If you are in the Training Camp, you will find a few vendors scattered about the southern area. Look for the tallish NPCs, they tend to be vendors.
If you are in Haven (having completed the training camp) the Bazaar is to the south-west, and is clearly marked when you enter. There are over half a dozen vendors there that sell pre-made equipment as well as recipes to craft your own.
It is also possible to buy equipment from other players, though this requires you to find another player that is selling.
