Just purchased a Millermatic 210 with spoolgun and tanks from my local authorized Miller dealer. Got a better price than cyberweld and after tax it is a wash. Did my dealer loose money on me, of course not, and the people who run the store actually weld and are very helpful. And past experience tells me that paying a few bucks less for such an expensive piece of equipment to get local support and help and be put in front of your machine you bought on the web if I ever need service. Before you tell me that is not the way it works, just think how your local dealer feels when you bring a machine in under warranty and he knows you did not even give him the chance to give you a good deal. (You know this is the way it works even if you will find no one to admit it.) Just my thoughts on the subject. I know this is a late post, but I just became a member to this forum and was reading this post and had to chime in! In my experience if you give the local guy a try and are not trying to buy one low priced thing, but a major purchase, they will give you a deal if they can. Or maby your local guy is a jerk, then by all means buy online and then find a different gas supplier!!!!

I went to three seperate dealers with in my area, none would come of the quoted price. In short I was fully disappointed in the dealers lack of interest in making me a customer. Cyberweld's prices were the best so I went with them and would purchase from them again.

Sorry to hear that your dealer was unwilling to cooperate. Had a dealer like that in the last city I lived in. But that city was big enough to have more than one welding supply and I found one that was willing to work with me. It amazes me that dealers don't get it. They make money on consumables and gas and could afford to give you a great deal on the welder. My dealer is fairly high volume for the small area I live in lots of farmers and ranchers and several aluminum boat builders buy from this shop. My dealer has one more loyal customer, I plan to buy a plasma cutter in the next year or two and will give my dealer an opportunity to make me a great deal on that too!!

All in all it was a very disappointing dealing with the local sales people. Sales must be way up or their business is stricky large volumn commerical shops. Now I just go to the closest store to buy my consumables, no loyality to any one store...I'm glad your experience was a good one.

Well said Ale Master. You should always try the local guy before making a major purchase. By doing so you find out if the local guy is worth patronizing and you also send the message you preferr to support hiom than someone in cyberspace you don't know from adam.
Good luck with your new welder.

Yep, I've watched the DHL driver toss boxes from the street up onto my neighbor's porch - bounce off the wall and hit the floor and roll back to the railing...

I would like to see this if he were to deliver a welder ANY size

Ordered a plasma cutter from cyber weld. It works fine. Was truck shipped. I agree, I would rather buy from a local vendor but $300.00 is alot and no tax, free shipping. Sorta like buying lumber from Home depot instead of your local hardware store. Sometimes they just cannot compete
