needham

I bought a graco 5900 sprayer on ebay for $1600 + $170 for shipping. It was only slightly used and it has proved itself to be quite the workhorse. Best buy I ever made.

very true....... i haveseen the 5900's go on ebay "cheap"..... i would like to bid new consrtuction since there is A LOT of it around here and a gas powered sprayer seems so much better than bying a generator right now. thanks

I have bought and sold quite a few rigs on ebay. Do your homework,keep in mind what specs you need, and set a realistic budget, buy from well established sellers, and make sure to ask seller all the questions before you bid. You will be able to find just what you are looking for, i myself almost bought another 695 ultramax2 off ebay just last week. Nice looking unit quality seller 900+ shipping. Now i also bought the 695 i use myself at the paint store, i paid just over 2 grand. Nothing like new. Also by buying new all your warranties will be valid, like lifetime motor ect...
Its only a matter what is most important to you.
I do not know if that was helpfull or not.
Now another thing i buy from ebay, cases of blue painters tape,150 medium fine sanding sponges @ 30 cents apiece, Sanding sheets for sanding poles. spraysocks. You will be able to find all that at a fraction of what you will pay at paint stores or HD
Again sorry for the rantting.
