I would suggest checking craigslist periodically... it's amazing what stuff pops up- older equipment may look heavily used and dirty, but still high quality compared to these new cheap mini mills. If you've got the room for a larger mill, that is the way to go.
A friend once got two Pacemaker WWII era lathes from a government surplus for about $5K total- one was a 10" and the other a 14"! 60-70 inch rails. Amazing quality, those older machines.
