Welder too cheap to be true?

I'm with the majority buy the best you can with your budget and get one the uses gas. Flux core wire makes a big mess with burn through and the splatter. I have a Miller 250 for bigger jobs and a Snap On for sheet metal and Tig welding both work great for the job I got them for. Use your friends to guide you in the right direction, and if someone is sell a weld cheap it is not doing the job they got it for and they just want out
