Tim's wondering if he wants to invest as much as $7/800 in a welder and
you offer up a bunch of $1,200-2k listings? Interesting.

Well, screw welders. I want one of these babies, + several dozen crates
of ammo, please. Christmas looms!

Would't those be a blast to ride, guys?


I would love a $7/800 welder. Less than a penny sounds great, as long as
the thing works.

My suspicion is that for what I want, a new el-cheapo welder will be
better than a nice older machine -- I suspect that if I were doing normal
stuff in a normal shop (i.e., not really thin stuff) that I'd feel
differently.
