The difficulty comes in trying to find a good used machine in our area. I have been searching craigslist for the last couple of years for a Bridgeport or similar mill and no luck so far. I missed out on a series 1 var speed head recently, that was the first I even had a chance on. High demand and very little supply is what drives people to the Chinese mills. That one was $3900 without powered X axis or DRO. It was 3 phase thou. I was also quoted $1500 to move it from Newberg to Damascus, about 30 miles.
