Too expensive to fish

Not sure if anyone can help, but I'm a new zealander living in swtizerland. My oldest son is now old enough to start fishing (8yrs), but switzerland is too bloody expensive. I don't suppose anyone has any advice for buying in switzerland. I'm guessing I'll have to buy online, ebay etc, but have never bought this sort of stuff online, so any advice on doing this welcome.
NB I'm not a pro, I grew up with one rod which I used for years, both in rivers and off a pier. I only got a new rod as I got bigger. So no need for any fancy stuff. Just wanna introduce my son to it. Oh I need a rod for myself as well.
