I have found several on ebay in the $500-$600 range (3040 models), but am scared to buy one only to find out it is crap. With low cost being of most importance, does anyone have any advice on what model to buy? I do not need anything too big or fancy, just something that is small enough for my home, but big enough to be useful. Something that I can learn on and be good with it. A good starter model that will not encourage me to let it sit and collect dust by putting out crap work.
