in that price range you are basicly talking about mini mig welders. most gas ready 110v migs run in the 400-500 range new (after you toss in a couple supplies) so if you can find one on sale that would work out nicely for the thinner stuff and for heavy frame welding a 220v arc welder could be handy for you for anything 1/4" or thicker. what kinda of electircal supply do you have on hand? if you only have 110v you could at least tack things in place and take your frame elsewhere to have welded or to weld yourself. a tacked up frame won't run too much to get welded up sinc eall the shop time you would be paying for is welding time and not setup and prep time.
