I go there periodically, looking for good deals. So far it's been good (I got 11 new BT40 toolholders for only $100, for example ).
One seller that frequently get my attention is reliable tools, altough I had never bought anything from them:

What's your budget and the kind of jobs you want to do?
(Cheap for me is $2,000, for some is $30,000).
Now, if you are only trying to test the market, go ahead, get some customers and I'll do the jobs for a pretty low tag (right now I'm a lazy with a lot of free time). Once you have enough customers, you buy your own machines and keep the bussiness going on.
Best regards:
