They sell and service welding stuff all day and the prices are usually competetive. They can also give you hints and maybe even let you try stuff out.
If you are not familiar with using the equipment I would take a welding class from your local community college or get friendly with your local high school shop teacher, then you can try out their equipment and see if you like it.

I had an idea what I wanted, 110v MIG/Flux home shop use. They want you to be a happy customer.
First figure out all you want it to do and go from there. You can go online to Miller or Lincoln and read through spec sheets.
