^^^What he said. I bought my Hobart new a few years ago for about $400. I think it's the Handler 187. Granted, I wouldn't use it to build cages and stuff, but it's great for sheet metal, exhaust, etc., especially since I switched over to gas (From flux core).
I recently had the pleasure of borrowing a huge Millermatic 220v welder and it really is point and shoot. Awesome machine to work with. Unless you're building roll cages and fabbing with heavier steel, it's a little bit overkill for the thinner stuff.
