I don't know about your area but around here welders are pretty common used. I picked up my 220 lincoln buzz box for $100 and that's with 200' of lead cable!

I picked up my snap-on 250 amp mig for $300. Now if I only had a garage to use it in lol. I must admit tho that I get more use out of my little lincoln 125 right now. I can do a lot of small jobs with it and use to tack stuff up then I can take it to work and burn it all in there.

Agreed!

Cheap, welder, and good DO NOT belong in the same sentence. If you want a welder that will penetrate and make good welds...while lasting a long time...go with Miller, Lincoln, ESAB, and hell, even Hobart (rebadged Lincoln pretty much)

Oh yeah...go to weldingweb.com and read up on the forums for a while (and there's probably someone local to you who's got one for sale in the classifieds!)
