Default Is this good deal?

Let me start by relating this to C3 general.... All will be used to work on my C3..

My neighbor is moving to Las Vegas and has mega tools. Some of it is too heavy to pay to ship it so he decided to sell some if them.

This is what I bought even though I am clueless for now on how to use them.

60 Gallon Upright air compressor with the motor on top 220V
Wirefeed MIG welder (need to buy mask) + small argon? tank
Cutting torch + 3 tanks (one large oxygen, 2 smaller acet.) + all the gauges

I got all of that for $350. I thought it was a very good deal. He has used the stuff for several years and has helped me out on my car using all of it before so I know it all works. I figured it would be good learning stuff anyway.

So what do you think? Good deal or not?

The mig is a craftsman. I have been trying to find it on the sears website but havent found anything yet. It says Model 934... 18 DC Arcvolts?, 30 Max OCV, 20% Duty Cycle


I am not sure about the air compressor. I don't remember and haven't picked it up yet.

Welding will be fun to learn. I just have to remember to stay far enough away from anything flamable (the house) while learning. Should be a blast though once I figure it out. I have to try to find "Welding for dummies" at the book store.
