Hi, My name is Matt and I'm a newbie!

If you consider that in time you will have to learn all about your machine in order to keep it running then in your position I would buy this:

Metal frame is a much more sensible option and the Wanhao seems to have a good reputation.

Couple of hours to go and it will not get any bids I don't think. You could wait for it to finish and bid the guy less for it.

Cheers mate. Shame the print area is smaller than the others I found. However, you can get that model new on ebay for a few quid less than this "spares or repair" one. So something to think about.
