Would have thought that 600 euro's would have bought a new one for personal use.

I dont think I would make a sensible offer. Is it single or 3 phase? If I was looking at spending that amount I would want new / warranty. I bought a new 210amp mig for about £350 if I remember right. Make him a very low offer you have nothing to loose. Whats the going rate for a new 200amp home user mig in France? Here its about £3-400
Check out eBay for prices in your area.
I bet weldequipe (sorry Steve) could do you one inc delivery to France for about what he wants.

Does anyone know where to find the costs of a new SAF FRO machine? ( this one was tempting me: Filcord 203 C and it goes from 35 to 220 Amps)
I've been drawn a bit to SAF since they're part of the group Air Liquide in France, seems a reliability for me...
(Oerlikon's part of the group too, hm decisions....decisions...)[/QUOTE
try this web site some of it I think is in French so I'm not sure what it says http://www.saf-fro.com/
I think there was a list of distributors on one of the other web site there should be an e-mail address on their some were you could try e-mailing them for distributors in your area
I know the site scarecrow, but for the email they want me to fill in a company name...
you think i could fill in my company's name and get away with it ( i'm only a simple welder)
Wait a sec', now i'm confused when i go to the saf fro site i find the saf filcord welders and when i go to this site: http://www.wecs-ltd.co.uk/index.php they tell me the filcord range has been replaced by the Oerlikon citoline range......aaaaaaaaaaargh.....as if it wasn't already complicated enough!!!!!!!
