I just got some Eppendorf 5415C centrifuges for really cheap. $75 and $100 respectively. They hit 15-16k max, though 13k is what most mobio protocols call for I think. I had to wait a few days to find the right deal, but it was worth it. Most are $200+ and some are in pretty shoddy condition, so be patient and diligent and you'll find a good deal on a nice looking machine. Especially check out the ones with "Make an Offer" as a lot of times people want to move stock and will take a good deal.
You can get 5415's for $100 or less, but I'm 99% sure they do NOT come with a rotor cover, so they are loud. The 5415C's do come with rotor covers, and are much more quiet, but use turn knobs like a cooking timer for the spin time. The 5415D's are the digital ones and are really nice, but I havn't seen one sell for below $500, and they are usually $700-$1000
I wish I had purchased this for $125
Lab resellers in my area just jack up the price so high, though I have found one decent looking place I still need to scope out.
Other than that, Ebay has re-affirmed the notion in my head that it really does have everything you need. I've noticed Incubators and heat baths / water baths can be gotten for a pretty decent price on ebay. Micro-pipettes are still kind of expensive for the nice ones, but I havn't put in the time to hunt for good deals.
-50 or lower freezer would be nice, but I imagine shipping on that might be massive, plus I think they need a special dedicated 220V line? I could be mistaken though.
Stir / hot plates + vortexers are also pretty cheap, $50 or less sometimes.
So in conclusion - EBAY!
