Not for that price.

Having used both, the No-Mar setup is definitely of higher quality and easier to use than a Harbor Freight setup without a number of modifications. What I'm willing to pay for a piece of equipment depends a lot on how much I expect to be using it. If I'm only going to use it to mount the occasional set of street tires 2-3 times a year, then I'd be unlikely to make any type of substantial investment in a tire changer. But if I'm using it 2-3 times a month, then it makes a lot more sense to me to get the proper equipment.

Well, as much stuff as Striple has liquidated lately, he should have plenty of bucks to afford "the proper equipment".

Great ... When you buy the Coats system next month or so let me know so I can buy your no-mar system. I just missed one for $200 on craigslist that came with a balancer and weights as well.

Well the guy just put it up so give him some time and he will probably come down some once he realizes it's over priced. He does have about $640 worth of equipement listed. Doubt he'll go all the way down to $200, but he might come down to $350-$400 or so.

That's about average for a used No-Mar system.
