I was going to suggest ebay, I won a Paasche D500 on there for $31Cool [8D] plus the $12 for shipping, works well, just no tank, which is a bit of let down, but no real problem.

Well, I just won a SIMair AC100 1/8hp airbrush compressor on Ebay for $70,-.
I think that's a pretty good deal.

well the first and last compressors are almost identical. they will do the job but they are a touch louder than a lot of hobby conpressors, the home depot compressor link didnt work but I figured you were looking at the one for about $79 with the 3 gal tank, this too is a bit noisy... but because it has a tank isn't on constantly or every time you spray, it only comes on after the prerssure gets below a certain point. If I were to choose between the three... and NOISE WAS NOT AN ISSUE (capital letters for emphasis, how much noise can you put up with??) the home depot one would be the one I got... I have one very similar that I use from lowes and it works great for airbrushing...

BUT... if noise IS an issue, this one mught be a better bet...

look toward the bottom of the page and you will see one for $99 with a 6 month warranty.. and it will be a bit quieter than the others...

if money alone governs your choice, Home Depot, Lowes and Wal Mart all have similar compressors for less than $79 that will do fine!!!
