I purchased the 40 AMP, 230V PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM from Ebay about 1 year ago, It was still new, and was snagged for $500 I had been looking at this model on Harbor Freight's website when it was $1049, and then it went up to $1149. Now it is a whopping $1499.99 It has gone up $300 in the last month. I haven't had any problems with my unit, bout wouldn't much complain since I paid $1,000 less for the one I now have.
However I was looking for a second unit but $1500 is a lot of money Is the price of plasma cutters going up in general - for all brands and models? The HB catalog # is ITEM 41952-4VGA at:
