This kind of "deal" can also be bait from a moron (scammer type)

I've emailed him twice, no answer yet. Listing is four days old. He only had their (Craigslist) encoded email address....no phone though the map showed him to be in town locally.

I asked a friend of mine who's got a fabrication shop.... he said to jump on it....and if I didn't like it he'd buy it off me and pay me cash! (inside joke with him... he's Jewish, I'm not). I found 7 foot tall Snapon toolbox, Snapon wrenches (SAE/Metric), side cabinet for shelves, side cabinet for smaller drawers and a couple other decent items.... all for $1,500 so my friend said he thought that was a stupendous deal.....and was going to make me an honorary jew. So he seems to approve of this too if it's legit.

you can put any area on the CL map. I see 4 wheelers and Tractors on CL all the time for stupid low scammer prices.

If cared for, those name brand wlders will always hold their value and new ones will only get more expensive. NOT a bad thing to tie your money up in at all.

Insist on seeing it in person!!! CL is full of scams.

My favorite story was when the seller told me he had shipped the tractor to Portugal after starting the Ebay listing so it wasn't available to look at right now.

BUY IT... but see it first. I always do Craigslist deals buy/sell face to face.

They are a $1400-1500 unit new. If it really is new I would smell a rat in there somewhere till I put my eyeballs on it. $700 is what you would pay for a 10 yr old one well cared for. The 210 comes in several different config also. They run up to almost $2K in the multi-process models. Plan on a minimum 220V 30A circuit for good performance. On 110V you will probably be disappointed unless working all light gauge stuff. I believe the straight MIG will run SMAW also probably around 90A output max.

Waiting with interest. I have one with the spool gun option. $700 sounds too good to be true.

Yep! There is a guy around here putting up free canoes. He's taking an existing listing, photos and write up and changing the asking price to free. The location is some random local location. Don't know why.

EVERYONE wants a canoe. Bait and switch. REPLY and next thing you know you'll be making payment on a NEW BASS BOAT and Trailer. lol
