This isn't a keyboard, but you might want to call local thrift stores and see if they have any old pianos for sale. I know a store in Philly that sells used pianos for about $150, way better than a keyboard! It's also worth it to go on craiglist. I know that often people who are moving or who have an old piano they never use will give it away to anyone who can move it or pay for movers to do so.

If you want to learn the piano, it is worth actually obtaining one. If, you don't want to get a real piano, you may want to get a keyboard that has all the keys (88), and has the finger action of a real keyboard. My personal preference is to shun those keyboard that have less than 88 keys, and have that spring action rather than the real feel of a keyboard with the weighted keys. This way, you can get the real feel of a keyboard on a real piano.
The piano is a fantastic instrument and it is well worth cultivating a life-long interest in the instrument as a hobby and so on.
You may find that people are willing to part with their pianos relatively cheaply. Ebay is a good place to see what pianos are going for in your area. I was lucky and found that a local elementary school had a piano just sitting in their basement, and was able to get it for free just by asking. You may not be as lucky as that, but ask around; you might find someone willing to part with their piano for little to nothing.

I don't know what keyboard is best, but keep your eyes on the classified section of your newspaper. Good pianos are often given away or at a very inexpensive price. Also call your local piano stores, they often know of piano's going for very low cost. Last spring 50 piano's were donated around our county.

Yamaha has good ones where you can adjust even the key resistance to make it similar to real pianos.
Dont even think of getting a keyboard where you cant adjust that, it would be a waste of money if you really want to learn piano
