Anyway....I'm thinking of buying a second hand SIP MIG wleder that is rated at 120 amps and uses GAS., oh and it works on 13amp mains feed.
Has anyone got any experience with these, worth buying or not? It's on eBay and is local to me and I'm willing to pay up to £100 or so for a second hand MIG otherwise I'll buy a new one and probably spend up to £250ish.
Cheers, Luke.

Yep Sip welders are fine, mine was great til I put it in the pit at work, and someone left the tap on over christmas.. filled the pit with water, ruined my welder
i hear alot about wire feed problems with them ? Also is most of them being gasless bad ? eg the weld is less stronger ?

The one in particular I'm thinking of buying uses Gas, so that won't be a problem.
Thanks for the replies, I'll keep an eye on the auction and hopefully buy it.

I have generally found anything around 100 amp and over, with gas is good to use.
Always found those shoe-box portable with no gas welders rubbish.
Also, splash out and get argoshield gas rather than just co2 if you can get hold of it. Produces much better results!
