Hi everyone,
I am interested in buying a boc mig and had a look at my local boc store with a big sign out the front saying they have specials on migs. They have the smootharc advance 275 mig on special at the moment for $2096.95 with a remote wire feeder etc, their special is that they throw in a cheap auto helmet and a pair of gloves. Which I don't need. I thought I would do some research and on eBay the same welder in boc eBay store was $1760 delivered free. I rang the store and the salesman tried to tell me that it would be old stock or damaged or not include GST. They would not budge a cent on price. He admitted that it was boc Sydney head office under cutting the stores. He also says that warranty claims would be difficult. I am inclined to buy off eBay as it's a considerable saving. But at the same time I'm worried if I go to my local store they might not want to know anything about it. Thoughts???
