looking to buy my first welder

Well, like I mentioned in my earlier post, the gas kit for them is over a 100 bucks, so yes it sounds like a decent price, if it has a flow gauge with it, all the better.

As mentioned ask to see if it works, if'n they have it hooked up.

Regarding the tank, they have a date on them to be re-certified. IF that's the case, I would suggest buying a tank so all you have to do is swap it out, no worries on having them re-certed (you can fill the one that's with it as long as the date is good). That's what I did and I never have to worry about it.

Is there a pic in the ad, post it.

It must have been a good deal
I texted the guy when the add was 21 hours old
He told me there was one guy in front of me, heading over to look at it, and 45 minutes later he texted me it was sold

Oh well, at least I know deals are still out there
