IMHO,
I would save that coin, join a guild, get by with what you have, quest and/or what the guild provides you with. Focus on skills, exp, aa's
(especially agro aa's at this point -
Awsome AA Thread ) and making/learning your hot keys. (don't forget to make an Oh'Chit! HotKey=D)
Your gear will be replaced rather quickly as you and your choosen guild progress.
If you're not into guilds or don't have enough time for a good guild ATM, learn to flip a coin. Learn the baz and turn that 9k into 18k... As you learn what to buy and when to sell you find great deals on gear you might think out of your reach ATM.
