Servo Impact Desktop Mills

Bill (and others),

Currently eBay has no listings for these particular mills. There must be
other brands of desktop mini-mills that are comparable to this. I would
love to find a used machine in the $500 price range and do a complete
retrofit for home CNC use. What other brands are available that might also
show up on eBay?

Thanks,
