Hello Chris, have you ever heard of www.craigslist.com.? In a way it is similar to ebay, however, it isn't an auction, you can buy an item outright or you can email the seller and make an offer. It is listed by major cities in your general area. Currently in my area on the Portland listing under tools, there is a Maxstar 150 that comes in the case with the tig torch, regulator, and stick welding leads for either $900 or $1200, I can't remember which. You might want to take a look. Best of luck and regards, aevald
