I need a new air compressor, my old one is done. I've been reading and comparing, looked at a few products. My questions how does the Paasche D3000R air compressor rate overall? To me it seems like a pretty decent compressor at a decent price, I can get one on ebay for about $160 and free delivery.
How about compared to the model TC20T on the TCP Global website?
Thanks for help and advice.

I would say that the TC-20T is the better bet - both compressors look to originate from China, but the TC-20T is the more powerful compressor (1/5th hp compared to 1/8hp & 60psi cut-off rather than 40psi). The D3000R doesn't have an airflow figure stated on the Paasche website, but I imagine that it's less than the TC-20T's 0.8 cfm.
Other than that, compare the warranty of both compressors.

Also, the Paasche D3000R is a diaphragm compressor - the TC-20T is a piston compressor if that's important to you. Probably why the max cutoff pressures are different.

Indeed, you're correct Milairjunkie. Paasche do describe it as piston. There is more than one retailer who describe it as a diaphragm compressor though. In addition to the 'well known' that you mention (I think I can guess), here's a quote from another and a 'lesser well known' :
"This oilless diaphragm compressor is a tank mounted unit, designed for compactness and portability. The sturdy air tank stores reserve air volume and reduces pulsation. Air pressure in the tank is regulated with an automatic on/off limit switch to a maxim of 40 PSI. Comes with R-75 Regulator / Moisture Trap."
I think I'd go with what Paasche says so, sorry if I caused confusion.
Thanks for the advice, it helped a lot.
I found a twin cylinder compressor with tank, 1/3 hp, that is similar to the TC20T, except that it has another cylinder, on ebay for $142, and free shipping. It's on the way and I should have it by the end of the week.
