A fellow newbie welder is considering buying this:

Could anyone comment on the value of the entire package?

$425 seems high, given that a new millermatic 135 + cart can be had on ebay for $600, and a 40cf cylinder goes for $90. Am I missing something?

Thanks

I'm not sure how your market is; but I was looking to sell my Challenger 172, two years old or so, with a 80 cf bottle nearly full of C25 for $475, no cart, but some extras. B.G. in Iowa

Assuming that is a 230V machine? 170 amp? So I'm thinking $275 - $300 would be a more realistic offer for the welder in question

135 + cart & bottle can be had on ebay for $700.

Worth about $350 tops. $300 is more like it.

Thanks guys, $300 is what I was guessing, Ernie.

The guy obviously overpaid or is lying to justify his selling price.

Will pass this along to my buddy.
