I dont know what they are worth, but around here there are always auctions selling used industrial equipment one week, office equipment another week
etc. Maybe look around where you are for auctions. A lot of welders need a 15amp supply, so check that before you buy.

I bought a italian "selwyn" brand from bunnings, i paid 1100$ 4 years ago now the same brand are selling for around 600 - 650 at bunnings, a great
powerfull and gentle mig, has 4 power settings and various wire speed.
Forgot to add, it is a gas ans gasless type, gasless wire is quite expensive and i prefer to use on new metal, use gas on older metal as it sheilds
better

Sunday papers - yeah, what Amazer said. Check out the auction section of the Sunday papers. There's always a workshop or two that's gone under, and
you can get some great stuff. I know a guy who got a near new hoist for $1500. Wicked!
