Picking up a welder on saturday...good buy?

[Darmstro]

I found a lightly used one of these for $150.

I'm new to welding so I didn't want anything too spendy and figured this would be a good start. I don't even really need it for anything right away so I think I'll spend a couple nights out in the garage messing with it. See what garden tools I can stick together.

If you can get that for only $150...

...WHY HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY??? ;D

Seriously, it sounds like a very good deal from where I'm sitting. I don't know anything about good welding brands, however, as the only brand I'm familiar with is Cigweld.
