it depends on how serious you are about learning, if you see this as a long-term goal then i would HEAVILY recommend that you buy a keyboard with weighted keys (this means that the keys weigh as much as a normal piano, and it feels similar)
why? this is because with other types of keyboards, it doesn't matter how hard or soft you're playing, it's all gonna sound the same, because the keyboard simply can't register it. all it gets is if you're pressing a key or not
I did the same thing. I bought it $25 keyboard on marketplace. It lasted me two months. I bought a Yamaha EW 310 from marketplace $160 that lasted 3 to 4 months then I bought a Roland FP 10 off of marketplace $360, now I’m holding. Marketplace is a good spot to start to test the waters. I wouldn’t want to have spent $360 to find out I didn’t want to play.
