probably battery, get a new one. its likely not the alternator, that has nothing to do with starting it has to do with charging after the vehicle is running. so put in a new battery which should already be charged and try it. used batteries= bad idea.
make sure you have the terminals nice and tightly connected to when you put the new batt in.

from there if that doesn't fix it, starter. cause u do know when you turn the key and it clicks, the power for everything else is supposed to go out during the starting process. that can be mistaken for a bad battery with lots of people. i just replaced my start a few weeks ago for the same problem, i just had put in a new battery a couple weeks before that.
